Abstract: Exemplary communication apparatus can comprise a receiver; a computer arrangement; and a non-transitory medium comprising computer-executable instructions that cause the apparatus to: receive a signal comprising a plurality of symbols in a first domain; store a portion of the signal comprising at least one symbol in a buffer; determine a frequency offset parameter relating to the buffered portion; apply a correction signal based on the offset parameter to the buffered portion to generate an at least partially corrected signal in the first domain; and transform the at least partially corrected signal into a second domain. In some embodiments, the first domain is a time domain, the second domain is a frequency domain, and the symbols are OFDM symbols. The corrected signal can be further transformed into a third domain. Further, exemplary methods and computer-readable media can be provided embodying one or more procedures the apparatus is configured to perform.
