Frequency synchronization for multiuser MIMO-OFDM system using Bayesian approach
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of frequency synchronization in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. Different from existing work, a Bayesian approach is used in the parameter estimation problem. In this paper, the Bayes estimator for carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation is proposed and the Bayesian Cramér-Rao bound (BCRB) is also derived in closed form. Direct implementation of the resultant estimation scheme with conventional methods is challenging since a high degree of mathematical sophistication is always required. To solve this problem, the Gibbs sampler is exploited with an efficient sample generation method. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation scheme. ©2010 IEEE.
