To address this issue, we propose the Cross-Multipath Cross-Correlation (CMCC) algorithm, a joint carrier frequency offset (CFO) and time offset (TO) estimation algorithm that supports passive sensing in both non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS) environments. The CMCC algorithm treats the delay-Doppler spectrum of signals reflected from static objects as an environment-specific "fingerprint spectrum" that exhibits a cyclic shift property as the CFO and/or TO change. By analyzing the number of cyclic shifts, CMCC efficiently estimates both CFO and TO. Additionally, we provide a simplified version of CMCC to reduce computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate the performance advantages of our algorithms across various configurations.
