In this thesis, One of the difficulties in the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems is the multi-user interference (MUI) induced by the carrier frequency offset (CFO). In sub-band OFDMA systems, each user occupies a consecutive and non-overlapping frequency sub-band. The pilots are usually placed at the edges of a sub-band for frequency synchronization and channel estimation. However, the both frequency synchronization and channel estimation performance are influenced seriously by the multi-user interference (MUI) induced by CFO of other users. The MUI can be reduced by inserting the guard sub-carrier between adjacent users. In this paper, a novel pilot architecture is investigated, which has the same bandwidth efficiency as the conventional guard sub-carrier insertion scheme. In addition, the proposed pilot architecture provides better carrier frequency synchronization and channel estimation performance than conventional pilot assignment. Moreover, this new pilot architecture also has MUI reduction utility.
