DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FREQUENCY OFFSET ESTIMATION

摘要

A device and method for estimating a frequency offset of a received signal is provided. The device comprises: a plurality of phase estimation units, each of the plurality of phase estimation units adapted for receiving one of a plurality of data parts of the received signal and estimating a phase caused by the frequency offset from the received data part, wherein the plurality of data parts comprises payload data and known symbols in the received signal. A method for estimating the frequency offset is also provided; and a frequency offset estimation unit for estimating the frequency offset from a plurality of phases estimated by the plurality of phase estimation units.
