Also for frequency offset, what really matters is not the frequency offset in Hz, but the relative frequency offset delta_f/F_s, where F_s is the subcarrier spacing. Please look at

In general if your relative frequency offset is .01 or less, I think you will not be affected much. But again I am not too sure for DQPSK. Again QAM is more sensitive to these errors than QPSK.

Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. I am sharing what I have recently learnt about these things ....

Thank you very much for the reference. This was a very nice link to Mostofi's work. The following paper is also pertinent to Jen's thinking on the guard interval offset being irrelevant. It is not of course:

Laziness is the number one inspiration for ingenuity.  Guilty as charged!
