AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, in the existing wireless OFDM system, there is a close relationship between symbol timing synchronization, carrier frequency synchronization and channel estimation, and the estimation error of delay and frequency offset will affect the accuracy of channel response estimation

Many approaches revolve around joint timing and frequency synchronization, but few have proposed the idea of ​​jointly estimating both synchronizations and channel impulse response

However, in practice, this strategy faces two major challenges

On the one hand, it is not easy to obtain the estimated values ​​of the three parameters at the receiving end of the system at the same time, and the calculation complexity is very high, which is not conducive to the application in the actual system

On the other hand, it is not easy to guarantee the performance of the system that jointly estimates the three parameters, and it is necessary to design a system that can meet the performance requirements of practical applications
