| Summary: | The orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technique has been widely employed in sensor networks as the data modulation scheme. This study presents a one-dimensional (1D) space–time signal processing scheme for the joint estimation of direction of arrival (DOA) and carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) in OFDMA uplink systems. The proposed approach, initiated by a one-dimensional ESPRIT algorithm, involves estimating the DOAs of the received signal to identify subscriber positions. Spatial beamformers are then used to suppress multiple access interference and separate each subscriber’s signal from the received signal. The outputs of the spatial beamformer are decimated to estimate the CFO of each subscriber. Compared with conventional two-dimensional parameter estimation algorithms, the proposed one-dimensional algorithm has a higher estimation accuracy and significantly lower computational complexity. |
