Abstract

The problem of carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation based on the Taylor minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) criterion in interleaved orthogonal frequency division multiple access uplink systems was investigated. However, in the presence of large CFOs, more iteration is required for the iterative search technique. Therefore, a new CFO vector, based on the Taylor series expansion of the vector initially given, is proposed. The problem of finding the new CFO vector is formulated as the closed form of a generalized eigenvalue problem, which is readily solved. A two-stage method for increasing the accuracy of the residual CFO estimation featuring a low computational load is presented in this paper. A proper initial CFO estimate is required for the Taylor MVDR estimator. First, an initial CFO estimate is determined using a particle swarm optimization estimator. The predominant CFO estimate is then sent to the Taylor MVDR estimator to form an estimate. The proposed estimator can estimate CFOs with a lower computational load. Several computer simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation approach.
