Inhalt:
This paper deals with the feasibility of improving synchronization (packet detection and frequency synchronization) of OFDM systems by exploiting transmit and receive diversities. Starting from a performance analysis of SISO synchronization, SIMO, MISO and MIMO synchronization algorithms are proposed and analyzed step by step. Simulations for IEEE 802.11a/g/n-like systems in frequency-selective channels show that the performance of packet detection can be improved by 6.5 dB and the residual frequency synchronization error can be reduced by 68.7%, if 4 transmit antennas and 4 receive antennas are used. For that, carefully designed training sequences and respective transmitter and receiver algorithms are necessary.
