Abstract

In this paper, we develop a new subspace based multiuser carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation scheme for multi-input multi- output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink transmission. We exploit the rank reduction approach by equipping multiple antennas at the receiver, in which the CFO of each user is derived blindly using one dimension (1-D) search individually. The proposed scheme supports the generalized subcarrier assignment scheme and full loaded transmission with all subcarriers being allocated to users. Numerical results are provided to corroborate the proposed studies.
