- Measurement Based Throughput Evaluation of Residual Frequency Offset Compensation in WiMAX
- WiMAX utilizes a physical-layer based on OFDM that is very sensitive to carrier frequency offset. Even though most of this offset can be compensated using the initial training sequence, there still remains a residual frequency offset due to estimation errors. The methods proposed to correct for this remaining offset are...
