Description

OFDM system time offset calculation method based on cyclic prefix
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of signal processing, in particular to a method for calculating time offset of an OFDM system based on cyclic prefix.
Background
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing technique, is one of multicarrier modulation schemes. In an OFDM system, inter-symbol interference may cause a high error rate, which degrades system performance, and to reduce the effect of inter-symbol interference, a guard interval is usually inserted into an OFDM symbol. The guard interval may not contain any signal but this introduces inter-carrier interference, destroying the orthogonality between sub-carriers, and is therefore usually constituted by a cyclic extension of the signal, i.e. the introduction of a cyclic prefix. CP (Cyclic Prefix), i.e., cyclic Prefix, is configured by copying a signal at the end of an OFDM symbol to the head.
Because the OFDM system is very sensitive to the synchronization error, in order to reduce the time synchronization error, the time offset estimation is carried out based on the cyclic prefix, thereby determining the time synchronization position. In the prior art, the cyclic prefix-based time offset estimation comprises a correlation method and a difference method, and when the correlation method is adopted for time offset estimation, the time offset estimation is sensitive to frequency offset, so that the time offset estimation is easy to generate large errors; when the time offset estimation is carried out by adopting a difference method, the frequency offset resistance is good, but under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, the time offset estimation error is increased. Therefore, a time offset calculation method for improving the time synchronization accuracy of the OFDM system under the conditions of large frequency offset and low signal-to-noise ratio is needed.
Disclosure of Invention
