LEE, Y. et al. A Low-Complexity Integer Frequency Offset Estimation Scheme Using Combined Training Symbols for OFDM Systems. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.6, pp.1073-1082. ISSN 2448-6736.

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, an integer part of a frequency offset (IFO) that causes ambiguity in data demodulation is estimated generally by comparing correlations between the received and local signals for IFO candidates. In this paper, we propose an IFO estimation scheme that provides a tradeoff between the estimation performance and the computational complexity including a conventional scheme as a special case. In the proposed scheme, template signals are formed by combining frequency-shifted training symbols, allowing the receiver to reduce the number of IFO candidates in the estimation process. Numerical results illustrate the tradeoff of the proposed scheme: The proposed scheme exhibits a tradeoff between the correct estimation probability and the computational complexity taking the number of the training symbols used to construct the template signal as a parameter.
