ABSTRACT
We propose CV-Track, a real-time, low-complexity BLE signal detection scheme that leverages carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation of commodity BLE chipsets to enable detection of the intact part of a partially corrupted BLE packet. It detects BLE signal by observing the variation of the estimated CFO values based on the finding that the CFO values are almost constant for BLE signal while dispersing otherwise. With CV-Track, we can salvage useful information such as received signal strength from an erroneous BLE packet which would otherwise be wasted. We implement a prototype of CV-Track on commodity BLE chipset and evaluate its performance in an indoor environment. Our results indicate that CV-Track detects significantly more BLE packets compared with legacy BLE receiver under cross-technology interference.

A time-frequency decision-feedback loop for carrier frequency offset tracking in OFDM systems
Acquisition and tracking are two crucial stages necessary to the carrier frequency synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this letter, by employing the rotation property of OFDM data subcarriers, a simple time-...
Joint Adaptive Compensation of Transmitter and Receiver IQ Imbalance Under Carrier Frequency Offset in OFDM-Based Systems
Zero-intermediate frequency (IF)-based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmitters and receivers are gaining a lot of interest because of their potential to enable low-cost terminals. However, such systems suffer from front-end ...
Maximum-Likelihood Estimator for Coarse Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation in OFDM Systems
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are more sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) compared to the conventional single carrier systems. CFO destroys the orthogonality among subcarriers, resulting in inter-carrier interference ...
