In the context of cognitive radio it is a crucial task to distinguish blindly various wireless systems (e. G. , Wifi, Wimax, 3GPP/LTE, DVB-T) from each others. We focus on the OFDM based systems which differ from their subcarrier spacing used in OFDM modulation. One can thus carry out recognition algorithms based on the value of the subcarrier spacing. Standard approaches developed in the literature rely on the detection of the cyclic prefix which enables to exhibit the value of the used subcarrier spacing. Nevertheless, these approaches fail when either the cyclic prefix duration is small or the channel impulse response is almost as large as the cyclic prefix. Therefore, this thesis proposes new algorithms to estimate the parameters of OFDM modulated signal (especially the subcarrier spacing) relying on i) the normalized kurtosis, ii) the maximum-likelihood principle, iii) the matched filter, and iv) the second-order cyclostationary property. We have shown the strong robustness of proposed algorithms to short cyclic prefix, multipath channel, time offset, and frequency offset.
