Description
Summary:A pilot-aided joint estimation of the carrier frequency offsets(CFO) and channels of a virtual multi-anten-nas(VMA) orthogonal frequency-division multiple(OFDM) system was considered.For a VMA-OFDM system,each pair of transmit and receive antennas possibly having a different CFO and CIR(channel impulse response) parameters made the parameters joint estimation a challenge task.By utilizing the series expansion of the matrix inversion and maximum likelihood(ML) criterion,a computationally efficient estimator allowing for simultaneously estimating the unknown pa-rameters was developed.The mean square-error(MSE) performance of the interested parameters for the proposed estima-tor was compared with the Cramer-Rao bound(CRB).In addition,the pilot sequence design was investigated by analysis and simulations.Simulation results show that the proposed low-complexity estimator asymptotically achieves the CRB and overcomes the drawbacks of existing estimators.
