In this paper, we proposed an frequency offset estimation scheme which can be used for packet based OFDM communication systems such as IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11p physical layer. Proposed estimation scheme can adjust the gain allocation ratio between long training symbol and short training symbol while maintaining average power of overall training sequence so that we can obtain the reference parameters for MSE performance improvement. The preamble structure considered in this paper is based on the preamble specified in IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11p standardization group. From the simulation results, it is shown that power ratio between long training symbol and short training symbol must vanes for achieving lower frequency offset estimation error as channel SNR condition is changed. Also it is known oat proposed scheme can achieve better performance than conventional one.

In this paper, a CFNC (Complex Field Network Coding) scheme is presented, which focuses on improving transmission efficiency by reducing time slots that are needed to exchange data frames. Conventional CFNC scheme has the advantage of minimizing the number of time slots required for information exchanges. However, there exists serious performance deterioration because the transmit signals are interfered with each other. Moreover, when CFNC scheme is applied, the estimation and compensation performance of fine frequency offset severely deteriorates due to the multiple frequency offsets in received signal of relay node. In order to overcome these critical problems, we propose an improved CFNC scheme with modified maximum likelihood decision method which uses uplink transmit diversity. Also, we propose an enhanced fine frequency offset estimation method and a corresponding compensation method to deal with the multiple frequency offsets. Corresponding simulation results verify that the proposed methods are able to effectively solve the problems of CFNC scheme.

An OFDM system using cross-handed circular Polarization(XCP-OFDM) is newly proposed in his paper. The proposed XCP-OFDM system divides the subchannels into a right-handed circular polarization(RHP channel and a left-handed circular polarization(LHCP) channel that alternate each other. Therefore, the overlaps between subcarriers in XCP-OFDM system can be reduced to a great extend compared to the conventional OFDM system. By this reason, it can improve the orthogonality and reduce the inter-channel interference due to frequency offset. In this paper, it can be seen that the proposed XCP-OFDM system shows robust against frequency offset.

A novel channel estimation scheme is proposed for coherent Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) system based on IEEE 802.15.4a specification. By extracting and utilizing the information on the frequency synchronization, the proposed channel estimation algorithm improves the receiver performance even under the restricted number of preamble symbols in IEEE 802.15.4a signal format. Simulation results over the IEEE 802.15.4a channel models show the performance gain with the proposed algorithm compared to ordinary channel estimation method.

In this paper, the carrier frequency offset estimator is proposed for the China multimedia mobile broadcasting (CMMB). The fractional carrier frequency offset is estimated by utilizing the cyclic prefix in each CMMB symbol. In addition, the integer carrier frequency offset can be estimated with the synchronization signal in every CMMB frame. The proposed estimator is the most suitable for the frame structure of CMMB. It shows a prominent performance even in timing offset and multipath conditions.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance of OFDM systems with adaptive equalizer that considers the frequency offset, the frequency non-selective fading, and two-path microwave Rummer's model channels. First of all, it is analyzed that the performance degradation, which is caused by the offset and the non-selective fading channel, through simulation. As the results of the simulation, the performance of the OFDM system is greatly influenced by the offset and channels. The more the frequency offset is, the worse the performance of the OFDM system is. However, if the adaptive equalizer is adopted to the OFDM system, the performance is enhanced up to the limited rang.

This paper proposes an efficient frequency and symbol synchronization structure which could solve problems of the conventional methods to implement DVB-T receive modem which adopted OFDM transmission method. The main considerations of frequency synchronization algorithms are that the frequency tracking performance is not stable enough, and lots of symbols are required, especially when the decimal part of normalized frequency offset (which original frequency offset is divided by the subcarrier spacing) is around $\pm$0.5 to solve these problems, we propose an efficient frequency offset is divided by the subcarrier spacing) is around $\pm$0.5 by using the average of coarse synchronization over several symbol. Also, we suggest a new symbol synchronization structure which is easy to implement without performance degradation in multipath fading channel with only coarse symbol synchronization by making window offset to the range of guard interval in contrast to the conventional structure of dividing symbol synchronization in fine and coarse mode during synchronization. By extensive simulation, we have shown the superiority of the proposed schemes.

Frequency domain equalization is the most promising technology that has relatively low complexity in multipath channel. A frame of single carrier system with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) has cyclic prefix to mitigate effect of delay spread. After synchronization and equalization procedure on the SC-FDE system, common phase offset (CPO) that can introduce performance degradation caused by phase mismatch between transmitter and receiver oscillators is remained. In this paper, common phase offset tracking in frequency domain is proposed. To track CPO, constant amplitude zero autocorrelation code sequence as training sequence is adopted. By using numerical results, performance of mean square error is evaluated. The results show that MSE of CPO has similar performance compare to the time-domain estimation and there is no need of domain conversion.

The previous works for WLAN system based on OFDM is mainly individual study for independent frequency offset or symbol synchronization. In this paper, the performance of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) system in the realistic indoor multipath channel models is analyzed with frequency offset compensation and channel estimation methods. For the performance analysis of the WLAN system indoor Rayleigh multipath channels are adopted, and the BER(Bit Error Rate) of WLAN system is calculated with y2 code-rate 16-QAM based on standard specification. From the simulation results, the difference of required Eb/No for BER of 10-3 is 1-2dB between the channel estimation and frequency offset compensation, and perfect channel estimation and no frequency offset.
