Abstract

Exact closed‐form expressions of the Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) for joint sampling clock offset and channel taps are obtained in multi‐carrier code division multiple access systems. CRB is undoubtedly the most well known variance's bound to determine. It provides a benchmark against which we can compare the performance of any unbiased estimator. Furthermore, minimum variance unbiased (MVU) estimator for these parameters is proposed. Moreover, maximum likelihood (ML) and least‐squares estimators for joint sampling clock offset and channel taps are presented. Best linear unbiased estimator is also introduced just for channel taps. The performances of the estimators are compared through simulation results with the proposed CRB. Our results show the better performances of MVU and ML estimators with more computational complexity compared with the others. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
