Multi-invariance propagator method-based carrier synchronization for MIMO-OFDM electrical special network

Abstract

The electrical wireless network build 4G TD-LTE network in 1.8GHz band, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) are the key technologies. The OFDM system is sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and hence accurate CFO estimates for the OFDM system are essential. In this paper, we study the problem of carrier frequency offset (CFO) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, and then a multi-invariance PM algorithm is proposed to estimate CFO in MIMO-OFDM system. The proposed algorithm employs the property of multi-invariance. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm has a better CFO estimation performance than PM.
