“…The block diagram of the TDC-SLM scheme is shown in Figure 1. The cyclically shifted signal in the TDC-SLM is given aswhere x [ n ] is the OFDM signal in the time domain at the time index of n , N
GI is the GI length, x
f [ n , Δ d ] is the SC that is generated by cyclically shifting the OFDM signal by Δ d , Δ d is the amount of the cyclic shift for the d th SC, and Δ d ∈ { Cδ }, where C is an integer [11, 12]. The resolution of the cyclic shifts, δ , has to be large enough for accurate estimation of the cyclic shifts in a receiver.…”
