We address narrow-band communications in presence of large and time-varying carrier frequency offset (CFO) at the receiver. This is a general assumption which includes the condition due to the Doppler effect where the transmitter and/or receiver are moving with a relative time-varying speed. A robust transceiver system is proposed to dynamically estimate and compensate the CFO. The proposed system is particulary attractive for low data-rate communications (e.g., voice service) where the CFO is significantly larger than the data bandwidth. A two-step carrier recovery scheme is developed with large acquisition range and fast frequency tracking. The proposed method provides accurate CFO estimation with affordable complexity. We also devise a robust frame synchronization scheme to provide accurate timing in presence of CFO. Furthermore, non-coherent detection with soft-decision decoding is employed to …
