Technical Innovation Highlights
Block-Impulsive Pilot Design
Introduces a structured block-impulsive pilot sequence enabling MUI-free reception in both pilot and cyclic prefix (CP) segments for K=4 users across M+1 RIS reflection blocks.
Correlation-Based CFO Estimation
Proposes closed-form cross-correlation CFO estimator combining 3 sub-estimates (pilot blocks + 2 CP-based) with reliability-weighted averaging (K:1:1 ratio), achieving CFO acquisition range ε_k ∈ (−1, 1].
Low-Complexity Channel Estimation
After CFO compensation, performs channel estimation with MSE gain of 6K/(3K−1) over conventional methods. Overall complexity O(KLQ + M²) — same asymptotic order as prior art, verified via 5,000 Monte Carlo trials.
MIMO-OFDMA Compatibility
Framework extends to MIMO-OFDMA systems via spatial averaging or MRC across receive antennas. Compatible with standard OFDM configurations (LTE/NR) where N ≠ 2KL_CP, with negligible performance degradation.
