Title
Robust frequency synchronization for an OFDMA uplink system disturbed by a Cognitive Radio system interference
Abstract
In Cognitive Radio (CR) systems, spectrum sensing plays a key role to determine the free frequency bands. However, when the primary-user (PU) signal spectrum exhibits localized fading, PU detection cannot be guaranteed. In addition, as the CR may use the PU faded frequencies, the PU spectrum can be disturbed by a narrow-band interference (NBI) and synchronization algorithms used for the PU carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation suffer degradations. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that jointly allows the CR-NBI to be detected and the PU-CFOs and the channels to be estimated in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. It combines a sigma point Kalman filter and a test aiming at detecting a variation of the measurement-noise covariance matrix. Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm can accurately detect the CR-NBI and estimate the PU-CFOs.
