Abstract:Abstract-Cooperative networks recently became attractive because they can achieve spatial diversity. Multiple decode-andforward (DF) relay nodes result in multiple carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) because each relay node owns its local oscillator. This paper presents a novel semi-blind multiple-CFO estimator for DF OFDM cooperative networks. A procedure is designed to effectively derive the semi-blind multiple-CFO estimator for relay nodes. Each relay node occupies its own subchannels, and its CFO falls in a n… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
