Synchronization in Wireless Networks for Practical MIMO-OFDM Systems

In this paper a frequency offset estimation technique for Wireless Local Area and Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks is presented. For frequency offset estimation, we have applied a low-complexity frequency offset estimator for simple AWGN channels to fading channels for MIMO-OFDM systems. Simulation results have shown that the performance of the proposed estimator is better than the low complexity frequency offset estimator designed for AWGN channels.
