Abstract

Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) is a simple approach to increase the frequency selectivity of the channel in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based transmission scheme. However, CDD can cause serious degradation in the performance of channel and frequency estimation in the frequency domain. This paper suggests a post-FFT frequency estimation scheme suitable for arbitrary cyclic delays in the CDD-OFDM system. By partitioning uncorrelated pilot subcarriers into subsets to be flat, and performing frequency estimation for each pilot subset, a robust integer frequency offset estimation scheme is derived.
