Abstract

In this paper we deal with the problem of data-aided symbol timing estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems based on offset-QAM modulation (OFDM/OQAM). Specifically, a data-aided joint phase offset and symbol timing estimator, based on the least squares (LS) approach, exploiting the conjugate-symmetry property of a properly designed training symbol, is derived. Since the phase estimate is in closed form, the symbol timing estimate requires only an one-dimensional maximization procedure. The derived LS estimator does not require the knowledge of the prototype filter and, moreover, its performance, is independent of the carrier frequency offset.
