Abstract
The performance of multi-user detectors in the presence of multiple frequency offsets under a Rayleigh fading channel environment is analysed, and techniques to estimate and remove multiple frequency offsets (FOs) for successive interference cancellation (SIC) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receivers are also proposed. The closed form expressions derived for bit error rate (BER) of SIC and PIC schemes in the presence of multiple FOs have been verified using extensive simulation results. The PIC is shown to be less sensitive to frequency offsets as compared to SIC. It is demonstrated through analytical and simulation results that the proposed frequency offset estimation and correction techniques provide approximately 8 dB gain in the BER performance over conventional SIC and PIC schemes in the presence of multiple frequency offsets
