A consistent OFDM carrier frequency offset estimator based on distinctively spaced pilot tones.

A consistent OFDM carrier frequency offset estimator based on distinctively spaced pilot tones.

A pilot-tone-based maximum likelihood estimator (PBMLE) for carrier frequency offset (CFO) in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. To obtain a consistent estimate of the CFO over a frequency-selective fading channel, the proposed method employs a preamble comprising...
