A novel time offset compensation method for channel estimation in cooperative communication networks

In recent years, relay communication has been proved to achieve the transmis-sion diversity order with space-time block coding (STBC). Most research assumedthat the relay nodes are in perfect synchronization. However, in actual, becausethe transmitting time at each relay is different, the signals from different relays received at destination will interfere with each other. Inter-symbol interference (ISI) iscaused. Besides, the time synchronization error will reduce orthogonality of space-time block coding and result in serious performance degrade. This thesis proposes a time delay compensation method by using Fourier transform and Least Square(LS)estimation method. The destination node can utilize the estimated time delay tosynchronize the received signal. Then, the space-time coding will maintain orthogonality at the receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed method caneffectively improve the performance of cooperative networks when imperfect timesynchronization exists.
