Abstract
A carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation and compensation method is proposal for downlink group-orthogonal multicarrier code-division multiple-access (GO-MC-CDMA) system. The proposed algorithm has taken into consideration both the inherent orthogonality among subcarriers of different groups of GO-MC-CDMA system and the characteristics of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) demodulation are taken into consideration. The CFO estimation is achieved by searching the value which minimizes the cost function constructed in terms of performing FFT on the interfering signals. Simulation results show that the estimated value of CFO is very close to the real value for the downlink GO-MC-CDMA system. In addition, it is shown that the bit error rate (BER) performance is improved significantly by CFO compensation.
