Summary: 
A new data-aided carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation technique is presented for correlative coded OFDM systems in the presence of strong multipath. Different from traditional data-aided estimation techniques, the technique estimates CFO by detecting amplitude of pilots rather than their phase shift and removes effects on CFO estimation due to intercarrier interference by an iterative compensation method. A theoretical analysis of its performance has been derived and simulation results comparing the new technique with a traditional data-aided estimation technique are presented.
