Apparatus for estimating and compensating carrier frequency offset and data receiving method in receiver of wireless communication system
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to an apparatus for estimating and compensating a carrier frequency offset, and a data receiving method in a receiver of a wireless communication system. The apparatus correlates a received signal with a signal delayed by a predetermined period of the received signal in a correlation window, wherein the correlation window is set based on a Cycle Prefix (CP) and a preamble repetition length from a predetermined position, converts the correlated value into a phase value, compensates a phase of the converted result according to preamble segment numbers, and estimates an initial carrier frequency offset value.
1. A method of estimating and compensating a carrier frequency offset in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system, the method comprising the steps of:
correlating a received signal with a signal delayed by a predetermined period from the received signal in a correlation window, wherein the correlation window is set based on a Cycle Prefix (CP) and a preamble repetition length from a predetermined position;
converting the correlated result into a phase value;
compensating the phase value by a predetermined phase compensation value that is set differently according to preamble segment numbers; and
estimating an initial carrier frequency offset value based on the compensated phase value.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined position is a position determined according to an initial frame boundary of the received signal.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the correlated result is maximized at a position indicating the initial frame boundary.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined period is 341 sample period.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the correlation window is 811 sample period.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase value is compensated as much as 2π/3 for a segment number 1 and the phase value is compensated as much as −2π/3 for a segment number 2 .
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
compensating frequency offset of the received signal using the estimated initial carrier frequency offset value.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received signal and a complex conjugate of the delayed signal are correlated.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the estimating an initial carrier frequency offset value comprises the step of:
normalizing the compensated phase value according to a normalization value after the step of compensating the phase value.
10. An apparatus for estimating and compensating a carrier frequency offset in an OFDM system, the apparatus comprising:
a first means for correlating a received signal with a delayed signal of a predetermined period of the received signal in a correlation window; and
a second means for converting the correlated value into a phase value, compensating the phase value by a predetermined phase compensation value that is set differently according to preamble segment numbers, and estimating an initial carrier frequency offset value based on the compensated phase value,
wherein the correlation window is set based on a Cycle Prefix (CP) and a preamble repetition length from a predetermined position.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined position is a position determined according to an initial frame boundary of the received signal.
