Joint Detection of Frequency Offset and MAI for MC-CDMA Systems
Yanjun Hu, Azzedine Boukerche · 2006
Multi-carrier (MC) CDMA technique can reduce the interference and improve the performance of the system in fading channel. But the frequency offset and multiple access interference (MAI) are obstructive to its performance. In this paper, combining the PIC multiuser detection and frequency offset estimation based on maximum likelihood function guard interval, we propose a joint detection which called M-ML-MPIC (modified maximum likelihood multistage parallel interference canceller) to correction the frequency offset and MAI simultaneously. The numerical results of the performance analysis and comparisons of conventional schemes with the proposed method are given.
