Abstract
A frequency offset estimation method for a multi-carrier communication system is provided. The method includes: transforming a representation of a reception signal from a time domain to a frequency domain, and generating a plurality of symbols; calculating a correlation of two symbols among the symbols, and obtaining a plurality of correlating complex numbers corresponding to a plurality of subcarriers; generating M number of candidate subcarrier position sets according to a subcarrier position set of a specific signal and M number of candidate frequency offsets; calculating M number of calculated values according to the correlating complex numbers corresponding to the M number of candidate subcarrier position sets; and determining a frequency offset according to the maximum calculated value among the M number of calculated values.
