Summary: 
This letter presents a simple maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method with one training symbol for the integer frequency offset (IFO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. We show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional one through Monte Carlo simulations.
