Timing and frequency synchronisation for the uplink of OFDMA systems is discussed. The uplink synchronisation procedure is presented and a novel timing and frequency offset estimation scheme is proposed. The timing and frequency offsets are estimated by identifying the differential phases of the training subcarriers in frequency and time dimensions, respectively. The frequency offset is estimated ahead of the timing offset, after which intercarrier interference compensation is carried out based on the estimated frequency offset. Finally, the timing offset is estimated after eliminating the frequency offset's influence. The principle of best linear estimation is applied. Both the case of a single user and that of multiple users simultaneously accessing the network are considered. In contrast to other methods, the proposed scheme has moderate complexity and allows flexible subcarrier assignment schemes. The analyses and simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed scheme in the uplink channels.
