Abstract

A joint multi-carrier frequency offset (CFO) and multi- time of arrival (TOA) estimation algorithm for multiuser single-input multiple-output (SIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. With carefully designed pilots, multiple CFOs and TOAs of K users are separated jointly, dividing a complex 2K-dimensional estimation problem into 2K low-complexity mono-dimensional estimation problems. Two CFO estimation approaches, including a low-complexity closed-form solution and a high-accuracy null-subcarrier assisted accurate estimation approach, are proposed, where the integer and fractional parts of each CFO are estimated as a whole rather separately. Each TOA is estimated regardless of CFO by exploring the features of the inter-carrier interference matrix. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) of multi-CFO and mutli-TOA estimation are derived for the first time for SIMO OFDM systems. Simulation results show that the proposed CFO and TOA estimators provide higher estimation accuracy than the existing approaches. They also achieve performances close to the CRLBs especially at high signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs).
