Double differential transmission for two-way relay systems with unknown carrier frequency offsets

In this paper, an amplify-and-forward two-way relay system with unknown carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) is considered. A double differential transmission scheme is proposed to achieve successful two-way relaying transmission without any CFOs information. The average symbol error rate (SER) performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed and a closed-form upper bound of the average SER is derived. Simulation results are provided to validate the proposed scheme.
