Time-domain and frequency-domain approach to frequency offset correction method for LTE SC-FDMA uplink

摘要

Systems and methods for canceling carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) in a radio receive chain are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving a sub-frame via a radio receive chain in a time domain; performing per-user filtering on the sub-frame to obtain a signal for a particular user; obtaining a CFO correction signal; adding the CFO correction signal in the time domain to perform a CFO correction step on the signal for the particular user; performing an FFT on the output of the CFO correction step to obtain samples in a frequency domain; adding an SFO correction signal in the frequency domain to perform an SFO correction to the output of FFT step; and demodulating the output of SFO correction step, thereby performing CFO and SFO correction while reducing inter-carrier interference (ICI).
