Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for estimating at least one offset of a communication in a multicarrier communication system, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of subcarriers wherein at least one of the plurality of subcarriers contain a subcarrier that is subject to the distortion and wherein at least one of the subcarriers subject to the distortion includes a direct current (DC) subcarrier which is not empty; generating a plurality of first channel estimates for a plurality of received subcarriers that are not subject to the distortion; processing a number of the plurality of first channel estimates for the plurality of received subcarriers that are not subject to the distortion to generate a second channel estimate for the subcarrier that is subject to the distortion; and estimating an offset associated with the subcarrier that is subject to the distortion by:
