Abstract

An estimation device includes: a difference derivation unit that derives a first power difference between a positive frequency component and a negative frequency component of a received signal or derives a second power difference between a positive time component and a negative time component of the received signal; and an offset estimation unit that estimates a frequency offset value of the received signal on the basis of the first power difference or the second power difference. The estimation device may further include a compensation unit that compensates for frequency offset by using the frequency offset value. In a case where there is a plurality of potential frequency offset values, the compensation unit may compensate for the frequency offset of the received signal on the basis of a predetermined offset value.

Claims (15)

1 . An estimation device comprising:

a difference derivator that derives a first power difference between a positive frequency component and a negative frequency component of a received signal or derives a second power difference between a positive time component and a negative time component of the received signal; and

an offset estimator that estimates a frequency offset value of the received signal on the basis of the first power difference or the second power difference.

2 . The estimation device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a compensator that compensates for frequency offset of the received signal by using the frequency offset value.

3 . The estimation device according to claim 2 , wherein:

in a case where there is a plurality of potential frequency offset values, the compensator compensates for the frequency offset of the received signal on the basis of a predetermined offset value; and

in a case where the first power difference or the second power difference decreases, the offset estimator selects a smaller frequency offset value from the potential frequency offset values as the frequency offset value to be used for compensation, and

in a case where the first power difference or the second power difference increases, the offset estimator selects a larger frequency offset value from the potential frequency offset values as the frequency offset value to be used for compensation.

4 . An estimation method performed by an estimation device, the estimation method comprising:

deriving a first power difference between a positive frequency component and a negative frequency component of a received signal or deriving a second power difference between a positive time component and a negative time component of the received signal; and

estimating a frequency offset value of the received signal on the basis of the first power difference or the second power difference.

5 . A non-transitory computer readable medium which stores a program for causing a computer to execute:

a procedure of deriving a first power difference between a positive frequency component and a negative frequency component of a received signal or deriving a second power difference between a positive time component and a negative time component of the received signal; and

a procedure of estimating a frequency offset value of the received signal on the basis of the first power difference or the second power difference.
