Abstract

We propose an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based semi-blind coordinated multi-point (CoMP) system, with a low complexity estimation approach for multiple carrier frequency offsets (CFOs), and an equalization structure based on the independent component analysis (ICA). Our work is different in that a small number of well-designed pilot symbols are employed to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, using the structure of pilots, a complex multi-dimensional search for multiple CFOs is divided into a series of low-complexity mono-dimensional searches. On the other hand, the cross-correlation between the transmitted and the received pilot symbols is explored to allow elimination of the remaining ambiguity in the ICA equalized signals. Simulation results show that with a low training overhead of 3.1%, the proposed semi-blind system can achieve a bit error rate (BER) performance close to the ideal case with perfect channel state information (CSI) and no CFO at the receiver.
