ICI Mitigation for OFDM Using PEKF

Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely known as the promising broadband wireless communication technology due to the high spectral efficiency and robustness to the multi-path interference. However, the inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by Doppler frequency offset is an important issue for OFDM in high mobility. In this paper, the method to mitigate ICI for OFDM system is investigated, and a novel ICI mitigation method using planar extended Kalman filter (PEKF) is proposed to reduce the ICI effects. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ICI mitigation method in this letter outperforms traditional ICI mitigation methods.
