Popis: En af tidens vigtigste protokoller for kanaladgang i fremtidens trådløse bred-båndsnetværk er orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDMA). I OFDMA grupperes de til rådighed værende kanaler i såkaldte sub-kanaler som tildeles samtidige brugere. Det er essentielt at bibeholde orthogonaliteten af disse sub-kanaler med henblik på at undgå interferens imellem sub-kanalerne (ICI) og som følge heraf undgå interferens imellem brugerne (MUI).Orthogonaliteten imellem sub-kanalerne er relativt let at opretholde i retningen mod brugeren (downlink), hvorimod det er væsentligt sværere i retningen fra brugeren (uplink). I uplink er det modtagne signal en sum af signalerne fra de forskellige brugere, hver med et individuel offset fra den nominelle bærefrekvens (CFO) som følge af oscillator ustabilitet og/eller Dopplerforskydning. Konventionelle metoder til korrektion for CFO i downlink'en er designet til enkeltbrugersystemer og er derfor ikke i stand til at korrigere multiple CFO'er i uplink'en.M{\aa}let for denne afhandling er at give praktiske løsninger til synkroniseringsproblemerne som opstår i uplink'en af OFDMA-baserede trådløse bredbåndssystemer. Adskillige data-assisterede CFO estimeringsalgoritmer foreslås til at opnå nøjagtige estimater af de multiple CFO'er i forskellige scenarier. Derudover introduceres nye metoder som på baggrund af CFO estimaterne afhjælper den selv- og krydsinterferens som skyldes multiple CFO'er, dvs. MUI. Resultaterne af evalueringer viser at de foreslåede metoder fungerer bedre end eksisterende metoder i litteraturen ved sammenlignelig eller endda lavere kompleksitet. he Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has recently emerged as one of the prime multiple access schemes for the future broadband wireless networks. In OFDMA, available subcarriers are grouped into subchannels, which are assigned to different users operating simultaneously. Preserving the orthogonality among these subchannels is essential, as it prevents the inter-carrier interference (ICI), which consequently eliminates multi-user interference (MUI).While the orthogonality among subchannels can be maintained relatively easily in the downlink, keeping the orthogonality in the uplink is much more difficult. In the uplink, the received signal is the sum of multiple signals coming from different users, each experiences a independent carrier frequency offset (CFO) due to oscillator instability and / or Doppler shift. Conventional CFO correction method used in the downlink are designed for single-user system, and therefore are not able to correct multiple CFOs in the uplink. The aim of this thesis is to provide practical solutions for the synchronization issues occurring in the uplink of the OFDMA-based broadband wireless systems. Several data-aided CFO estimation algorithms are proposed to achieve accurate measurements of the multiple CFOs in different scenarios. Once the estimates are available, novel MUI cancellation schemes are introduced to mitigate the self- and cross-interference occurring due to multiple CFOs. Evaluation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the existing techniques in literature with comparableor even lower additional complexity.
