Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a novel method for the bit error rate (BER) analysis with frequency offset and improved inter-carrier-interference (ICI) reduction in the OFDM digital communication system. We also analyze the sub-carrier index before and after cancellation of the frequency offset and discuss the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR). The results of the present analysis are compared with the others reported literatures.
