Moving terminals like high-speed-train undergo high Doppler frequency shift, and this leads to carrier frequency offsets that have to be compensated to avoid degradation of communication performance. In multiple access mechanism like OFDMA, base-stations need complex hardware to compensate the uplink frequency offset. In this paper, we propose a method, which can reduce burden of the base-station and makes frequency offset estimation and compensation simple. This method contains transmitting new synchronization signal, estimating frequency offsets in base-station, transmitting feedback information to terminal, and compensating the offset in uplink transmission. Simulation results show the proposed method operates well in high Doppler frequency shift conditions of 500 km/h which is the requirements of 5G mobile communication.

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.

This paper presents an analysis of asynchronous multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) uplink systems over frequency-selective multipath fading channels when the frequency offsets (FOs) of all users are random variables and the frequency offset for the desired user is compensated. The effect of a residual frequency offset(RFO) on the average bit error rate (BER) is evaluated by the semi-analytical method, then the approximated BER performance is obtained as a closed-form expression. Moreover, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss caused by RFO is evaluated. Derived results show that the performance degradation due to RFO is negligible if the estimation error of RFO for the desired user is less than the normalized value of 0.1.

In this letter, we propose a compact CORDIC processor for implementation of carrier frequency synchronization block in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. The compact CORDIC processor is proposed by using inherenct properties of an OFDM system for estimation and compensation of carrier frequency offset, and is composed of a compact CORDIC preprocessor and a compact CORDIC processor. The compact CORDIC preprocessor plays a role of normalizing input signal efficiently, and the compact CORDIC processor is proposed to perform the vectoring mode and rotational mode jointly in CORDIC operation for carrier frequency synchronization. It is shown by FPGA implementation that the proposed compact CORDIC processor can achieve better performance with a significantly reduced hardware complexity than the conventional CORDIC approach.

In cellular OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) systems, each subcarrier may suffer from different amount of interferences from neighbor cells. Suppose that it is possible to accurately estimate inter-cell interferences for each subcarrier, the performance can be considerably improved by applying SINR(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) weighting. This paper proposes an inter-cell interference estimation method for cellular OFDMA systems. The proposed method extracts amounts of noise and interferencesby eliminating the channel variation effects of pilot symbols caused by frequency offset, timing offset mobile velocity, and delay spread.

In this paper, a carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimator is proposed for the interleaved OFDMA uplink systems. It is based on the estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT). Compared with the Cao's estimator, the proposed estimator has low computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed estimator performs better than Cao's estimator at the relatively low SNR region. Hence, the proposed estimator is more applicable to the practical environments than the Cao’s estimator.

In this paper, an efficient frequency offset synchronization structure for OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is proposed. Conventional CORDIC(Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) algorithm for frequency offset synchronization utilizes two CORDIC hardware i.e., one is vector mode for phase estimation, the other is rotation mode for compensation. But proposed structure utilizes one CORDIC hardware and divider. Through simulation, it is shown that hardware implementation complexity is reduced compared with conventional structures. The Verilog-HDL coding and front-end chip implementation results for the proposed structure show 22.1% gate count reduction comparison with those of the conventional structure.

This paper propose an initial rotor position detection method for sensorless operation of a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor(SP-PMSM) with asymmetric air-gap. In general, the sensorless control based on back-emf estimation is difficult to estimate the back-emf at the zero and low speed regions. For this reason, an open loop start-up technique is indispensable, and it is also necessary to detect the initial position of the rotor in order to rotate in a certain direction. In this paper, we propose a method to detect rotor polarity by adding offset voltage to high frequency voltage signal based on the magnetic characteristics of SP-PMSM. The validity and usefulness of the proposed algorithm are verified through several experimental results.

The function of location estimation in WPAN has been studied and specified on the ultra wide band optionally. But the devices based on CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum) specification has been used widely in the market because of its functionality, cheapness and support of development. As the CSS device uses 2.4GHz for a carrier frequency and the sampling frequency is lower than that of the UWB, the resolution of a timestamp is very coarse. Then actually the error of a measured distance is very large about 30cm~1m at 10 m depart. And the location error in ($10m{\times}10m$) environment is known as about 1m~2m. So for some applications which require more accurate location information, it is very natural and important to develop a sophisticated post processing algorithm after distance measurements. In this paper, we have studied extended Kalman filter with the frequency offsets of anchor nodes, and proposed a novel algorithm frequency offset compensated extended Kalman filter. The frequency offsets are composed with a variable as a common frequency offset and constants as individual frequency offsets. The proposed algorithm shows that the accurate location estimation, less than 10cm distance error, with CSS WPAN nodes is possible practically.
