The focus of this paper is on the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system considering the combined influence of receiver noise, Rayleigh fading and the timing error due to imperfect slot synchronization at the receiver. Performance results are presented in terms of BER, BER improvement and BER-floor in presence of inter-channel interference (ICI) and...
In this paper, a new blind symbol synchronization algorithm is presented for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed algorithm extracts the timing which is not disturbed by delay spread within the guard interval by utilizing the cyclic prefix. A new timing function is introduced. By detecting the down-turn transition timing of the function, the symbol synchronization...
In this paper, we present and analyze efficient frame synchronization and frequency offset compensation scheme with ternary sequences for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in Rayleigh fading channels. Frame synchronization is an essential procedure for normal operation of the OFDM system because of sensitivity to synchronization errors. And when there are frequency offsets...
This paper presents a blind synchronizer for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) maximization. Due to the incurred losses from intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) introduced by synchronization errors, the SINR of the received data drastically drops. By taking advantage of this characteristic,...
In this paper, a joint carrier synchronization and equalization algorithm is proposed for OFDM systems in the tracking stage. Significantly, the carrier synchronization scheme is a dual-loop, which is composed of an outer and an inner loops, with the multirate processing to eliminate the carrier frequency offset and the channel phase variation. In addition, the gain equalization loop is employed to...
In this paper, we investigate the SNR and BER performance of an OFDM system under imperfect synchronization which is caused due to noise, Doppler shift and frequency selective fades in the channel. An analytical expression for BER is derived assuming BPSK modulation and numerical results are presented to show the effect and extent of the above channel impairments in OFDM downlinks.
