Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is a key technology component in the evolution towards next-generation communication in which the accuracy of timing and frequency synchronization significantly impacts the overall system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme leveraging extreme learning machine (ELM) to achieve high-precision timing and frequency synchronization. Specifically, two ELMs are incorporated into a traditional MIMO-OFDM system to estimate both the residual symbol timing offset (RSTO) and the residual carrier frequency offset (RCFO). The simulation results show that the performance of an ELM-based synchronization scheme is superior to the traditional method under both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency selective fading channels. Finally, the proposed method is robust in terms of choice of channel parameters (e.g., number of paths) and also in terms of generalization ability from a machine learning standpoint.

A novel joint symbol timing and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithm is proposed for reduced-guard-interval coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (RGI-CO-OFDM) systems. The proposed algorithm is based on a constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence weighted by a pseudo-random noise (PN) sequence. The symbol timing is accomplished by using only one training symbol of two identical halves, with the weighting applied to the second half. The special structure of the training symbol is also utilized in estimating the CFO. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by means of numerical simulations in a 115.8-Gb/s 16-QAM RGI-CO-OFDM system.
We propose an algorithm for carrying out joint frame and frequency synchronization in reduced-guard-interval coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (RGI-CO-OFDM) systems. The synchronization is achieved by using the same training symbols (TS) employed for training-aided channel estimation (TA-CE), thereby avoiding additional training overhead. The proposed algorithm is designed for polarization division multiplexing (PDM) RGI-CO-OFDM systems that use the Alamouti-type polarization-time coding for TA-CE. Due to their optimal TA-CE performance, Golay complementary sequences have been used as the TS in the proposed algorithm. The frame synchronization is accomplished by exploiting the cross-correlation between the received TS from the two orthogonal polarizations. The arrangement of the TS is also used to estimate the carrier frequency offset. Simulation results of a PDM RGI-CO-OFDM system operating at 238.1 Gb/s data rate (197.6-Gb/s after coding), with a total overhead of 9.2% (31.6% after coding), show that the proposed scheme has accurate synchronization, and is robust to linear fiber impairments.
Due to the nonlinear distortion in Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the timing synchronization (TS) performance is inevitably degraded at the receiver. To relieve this issue, an extreme learning machine (ELM)-based network with a novel learning label is proposed to the TS of OFDM system in our work and increases the possibility of symbol timing offset (STO) estimation residing in inter-symbol interference (ISI)-free region. Especially, by exploiting the prior information of the ISI-free region, two types of learning labels are developed to facilitate the ELM-based TS network. With designed learning labels, a timing-processing by classic TS scheme is first executed to capture the coarse timing metric (TM) and then followed by an ELM network to refine the TM. According to experiments and analysis, our scheme shows its effectiveness in the improvement of TS performance and reveals its generalization performance in different training and testing channel scenarios.
Fine-grained indoor localization has attracted attention recently because of the rapidly growing demand for indoor location-based services (ILBS). Specifically, massive (large-scale) multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems have received increasing attention due to high angular resolution. This paper presents an indoor localization testbed based on a massive MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system, which supports physical-layer channel measurements. Instead of exploiting channel state information (CSI) directly for localization, we focus on positioning from the perspective of multipath components (MPCs), which are extracted from the CSI through the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm. On top of the available MPCs, we propose a generalized fingerprinting system based on different single-metric and hybrid-metric schemes. We evaluate the impact of the varying antenna topologies, the size of the training set, the number of antennas, and the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The experimental results show that the proposed fingerprinting method can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy with a relatively small training set. Specifically, the distributed uniform linear array obtains the highest accuracy with about 1.63-2.5-cm mean absolute errors resulting from the high spatial resolution.
This paper develops a new deep neural network optimized equalization framework for massive multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMOOFDM) systems that employ low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) at the base station (BS). The use of lowresolution ADCs could largely reduce hardware complexity and circuit power consumption, however, it makes the channel station information almost blind to the BS, hence causing difficulty in solving the equalization problem. In this paper, we consider a supervised learning architecture, where the goal is to learn a representative function that can predict the targets (constellation points) from the inputs (outputs of the low-resolution ADCs) based on the labeled training data (pilot signals). Especially, our main contributions are two-fold: 1) First, we design a new activation function, whose outputs are close to the constellation points when the parameters are finally optimized, to help us fully exploit the stochastic gradient descent method for the discrete optimization problem. 2) Second, an unsupervised loss is designed and then added to the optimization objective, aiming to enhance the representation ability (so-called generalization). Lastly, various experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed equalizer over some existing ones, particularly when the statistics of the channel state information are unclear.
