Abstract

In this paper, we investigate symbol timing offset and carrier frequency offset estimation problem in distributed MIMO-OFDM systems. In distributed MIMO-OFDM systems, signals arrive at the receiving antennas on different timings and are characterized by distinct CFOs. This property makes synchronization an extremely challenging task as compared with the centralized ones. A training sequence which consists of two OFDM symbols having a reduplicate and conjugate structure is proposed to perform synchronization. Timing offsets are estimated using cross-correlation type algorithm. The fractional frequency offset is estimated using the phase difference of the two duplicated training symbols, and the integral frequency offset is estimated by utilizing the opposite shifts feature of cross correlation. The analysis and simulation results show that adopting the proposed preamble structure and synchronization algorithm, the receiver can estimate not only the STOs but also the CFOs from all transmitters. And the proposed algorithm is shown to have better performance, in terms of synchronization errors, than the UPSP method.
