“…Hence, timing and frequency synchronization is one important step that must be designed for these systems [41]. Several timing and frequency synchronization techniques have been presented in the literature, which are either training data aided [42]- [45] or simply blind [41], [46]- [48]. The second scheme, which is also known as non-data aided, is power efficient or bandwidth efficient and can be utilized when the cyclic prefix is absent.…”

“…After FFO compensation and cyclic prefix removal, the frequency domain samples are obtained via fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing. Once the first step is completed, the IFO is estimated together with residual STO, which can usually be done in the frequency domain [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. After frequency synchronization, there are residual CFO and SFO errors that continuously rotate the phase of the OFDM symbol.…”

“…If not correctly detected and removed, the fractional CFO (FFO) gives rise to the imperfection of the orthogonality among the subcarriers, leading to the inter-carrier interference (ICI), while the integer CFO (IFO) produces a cyclic shifting of all subcarriers in the frequency domain [8]. To address this issue, a lot of estimation methods have been studied for the estimation of the FFO and the IFO [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

In the integrated services digital broadcasting-terrestrial (ISDB-T) system, the combination of digital terrestrial transmission and MPEG-4 advanced video coding (MPEG-4 AVC) has offered ways to provide a variety of digital high-definition television (HDTV) programs. Using band segmented transmission orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BST-OFDM), the delivery of innovative video-on-demand and HDTV services is supported. To take full advantage of the attractive benefits of BST-OFDM, it is important to estimate integer frequency offset (IFO) without a priori knowledge on the segment type that is transmitted over transmission and the multiplexing configuration control (TMCC) signal. To address this issue, an efficient IFO detection method is proposed for the ISDB-T system employing BST-OFDM. To enable IFO detection independent of the segment type, information-bearing TMCC signals that are asymmetrically distributed in the frequency domain are used as pilot symbols. Numerical analysis is performed to present the relationship between error probability and design parameter. We show via the numerical results that the multiple transmitted TMCC information is efficiently used for blind estimation of the IFO, achieving robust estimation in the presence of the fractional frequency offset.

L-band Digital Aeronautical Communication System type-1 (L-DACS1) is an emerging standard that aims at enhancing air traffic management (ATM) by transitioning the traditional analog aeronautical communication systems to the superior and highly efficient digital domain. L-DACS1 employs modern and efficient orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique to achieve more efficient and higher data rate in comparison to the existing aeronautical communication systems. However, the performance of OFDM systems is very sensitive to synchronization errors. L-DACS1 transmission is in the L-band aeronautical channels that suffer from large interference and large Doppler shifts, which makes the synchronization for L-DACS more challenging. This paper proposes a novel computationally efficient synchronization method for L-DACS1 systems that offers robust performance. Through simulation, the proposed method is shown to provide accurate symbol timing offset (STO) estimation as well as fractional carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in a range of aeronautical channels. In particular, it can yield excellent synchronization performance in the face of a large carrier frequency offset.
