OFDM peak power reduction with simple amplitude predistortion

In this paper, we propose a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction algorithm for OFDM transmission. The algorithm is based on simple amplitude predistortion of a subset of the input symbol blocks, the predistorted symbols being selected according to a metric which measures their contribution to the output signal samples of large. magnitude. This metric-based algorithm is simple, highly flexible, and can be implemented as a one-shot process, although its performance can be further improved by iterating the process one or more times.     

非线性功放条件下的恒包络OFDM系统性能

正交频分复用技术具有较高的频谱效率和好的抗频率选择性衰落性能,被广泛应用于无线通信系统中。但是OFDM信号具有较高的峰均比,当系统采用非线性功放时,OFDM系统需要较大的输入功率回退以避免信号失真。为了研究非线性功放条件下的系统性能,分析了恒包络OFDM系统的实现方式,并以误码率为指标,在加性高斯白噪声信道和多径衰落信道场景下对比了恒包络OFDM系统与采用传统迭代限幅滤波PAPR抑制技术的OFDM系统的性能。     

Performance of the deliberate clipping with adaptive symbolselection for strictly band-limited OFDM systems

The performance of the strictly band-limited OFDM systems with deliberate clipping is examined in terms of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the resultant bit error performance. The clipping is performed on the OFDM signals sampled at the Nyquist rate, followed by the ideal low-pass filter, Since the low-pass filter considerably enlarges the PAPR, there is a severe limitation in PAPR reduction capability. Thus, in order to achieve further reduction of the PAPR, the application of the adaptive symbol selection scheme is also considered. It is shown that the significant PAPR reduction with moderate complexity can be achieved by the combination of the clipping and the adaptive symbol selection. The price to be paid for PAPR reduction by this scheme is its performance degradation. The paper theoretically analyzes the bit error rate performance of the OFDM system with the Nyquist-rate clipping combined with the adaptive symbol selection, and considers the use of the forward error correction for compensation of the degradation. It is shown that even though the clipping scheme causes severe loss in required signal-to-noise ratio, the use of a powerful channel coding scheme such as turbo codes significantly alleviates the bit error rate performance degradation

Performance analysis of concatenated BCH and convolutional coded OFDM system

ABSTRACT

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely used technique for wireless communications. But uncoded OFDM is not sufficient by itself, that is why channel coding is included to increase the system performance. In this study, concatenated Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem (BCH) and Convolutional Coded (CC) OFDM system is investigated for multipath fading channel with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). The simulation results show that the proposed concatenated code needs lower Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) when compared with single BCH code, single convolutional code and even with other concatenated systems. Throughout the simulations BCH coding is performed with 128, 256, 512 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) lengths; whereas convolutional coding is performed with 1/2, 1/3 coding rates. Furthermore, interleavers are added to the system to prevent the burst errors that occur over the channel. With the proposed system, the best result is obtained by using BCH(511,340) and CC(3,1,7) concatenation which is 8.2 dB SNR value for 10^?3 Bit Error Rate (BER). This result is very close to ideal AWGN channel value, which is 8 dB for 10^?3 BER.     

Performance analysis of OFDM system with transmit antenna selection using delayed feedback

We consider orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in a multiple input single output (MISO) system. In the presence of spatially uncorrelated time-varying frequency selective channel, we use subcarrier by subcarrier antenna selection using delayed feedback. We derive closed-form expressions for the pdf of the received SNR and BER for MQAM constellation. The expressions have been obtained as a function of the correlation (ρ) between perfect channel state information (CSI) and delayed CSI, where 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 1. We have verified our analytical expressions by comparing them with simulation results. We have also reduced the BER expression for some special cases and compared them with the results available in the literature. We conclude that the diversity gain of the considered system is reduced to one for ρ < 1, i.e. not having perfect antenna selection for each subcarrier. However, we get some coding gain compared to single input single output system, the coding gain reduces with decreasing the correlation.     

A novel trellis-shaping design with both peak and average power reduction for OFDM systems

A new trellis shaping design is proposed for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of the bandlimited orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The approach is based on recursive minimization of the autocorrelation sidelobes of an OFDM data sequence. A novel metric in conjunction with the Viterbi algorithm is devised. The performance of the trellis shaping depends on signal mapping strategy, and the two types of mapping, referred to as Type-I and Type-II, are proposed. The Type-I mapping has no capability of reducing the average power, but it can achieve a significant reduction of the peak-to-average power ratio. On the other hand, the Type-II mapping is designed to achieve both peak and average power reduction. The bit error probability of the system over an AWGN channel is evaluated based on the simulations, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

多用户OFDM系统的最优功率分配

本文从时域、频域、时频域三方面综合考虑多用户OFDM的功率分配方式，推出了各种情况下的最优功率分配方式。最后得出最优功率分配具有统一的water—filling形式，只是不同的分配方式，其Lagrange因子的取值不同。对多用户OFDM系统，其最大容量与子载波数目无关，每个子载波具有相同的平均功率分配。而对于每个用户而言，其平均功率分配方式与其经历的信道特性相关，当具有相同的信道特性时，每个用户分配的平均功率也相同。本文还提出了一种关于Lagrange因子的简单的迭代算法。同时根据上面分析的情况，提出了几种简单实用的功率分配算法。理论结果表明在多用户情况下，频域等功率分配算法接近于最优。     

A linear, time-varying system framework for noniterativediscrete-time band-limited signal extrapolation

A technique for the analysis and design of noniterative algorithms for discrete-time, band-limited signal extrapolation is described. The approach involves modeling the extrapolation process as a linear, time-varying (LTV) system, or filter. Together with a previously developed Fourier theory for LTV systems, this model provides a frequency-domain transfer function representation for the extrapolation system. This representation serves as a powerful tool for characterizing and comparing the reconstruction properties of several well-known least squares optimal algorithms for band-limited extrapolation. Moreover, the frequency-domain setting provides a conceptually attractive means for understanding the process of extrapolation itself. Additionally, a least squares approximation methodology for designing LTV filters for band-limited extrapolation is developed. The design technique is shown to unify a broad class of algorithms for extrapolating discrete-time data and, further, to provide a means for designing new and improved extrapolation algorithms

Performance analysis of broadband satellite communication system based on OFDM/TDM

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） is attracting more attention for its capability of high speed transmission. However, the OFDM possesses an obvious shortage in its high ratio of the peak power to the average power （PAPR）, which has become the main issue holding it back to be applied to the broadband satellite communication system. OFDM combined with time division multiplexing （TDM）, dividing the subcarriers of OFDM into some blocks in time tune, can decrease the high PAPR of OFDM. Meanwhile, the advantages of OFDM can be preserved. In this paper, OFDM/TDM is applied to the broadband satellite communication system. This paper theoretically analyses OFDM/TDM system model as well as its restraining effect on PAPR, and proposes frequency domain multiplexing-pilot （FDM-Pilot） channel estimation algorithm. Simulation results show OFDM/TDM in broadband satellite communication system has approving performance and decreased the PAPR.     

A phase scrambling scheme for suppression of peak to average power ratio for OFDM

The complex-valued modulating vectors for the subcarrlers consist of two kinds of components: One is the information-bearing components superposed with pseudo-randomized phases and the other is the suppression components with specified scrambling phases. The pseudorandomized phases are generated according to the predefined polynomial and mapping function whereas the scrambling phases are from a gradient algorithm. The simulation results verify the rationality and validity of the phase scrambling.

Performance analysis of deliberately clipped OFDM signals

We analyze the performance of the clipped orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in terms of peak power reduction capability and degradation of channel capacity. The clipping is performed on the baseband OFDM signals with and without oversampling, followed by the ideal low-pass filter. First, the effect of the envelope clipping on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the instantaneous power of the band-limited OFDM signal is studied. We then discuss the channel capacity of the oversampled and clipped OFDM signals over the additive white Gaussian noise and ideally interleaved Rayleigh fading channels. The capacity is calculated based on the assumption that the distortion terms caused by the clipping are Gaussian. It is shown that the SNR penalty due to the clipping can be considerably alleviated by using optimal coding and reducing the information data rate. The results are justified by the simulation results using near optimal turbo codes

Performance analysis of linear receivers in a MIMO relaying system

We investigate the performance of linear receivers in a cooperative system which consists of a source, a decodeand- forward (DF) relay and a destination that are all multiantenna nodes. The relay uses zero-forcing (ZF) equalization whereas the destination employs maximum ratio combining (MRC) as well as ZF techniques. Considering that perfect channel state information is available at the relay and destination, and the fading is Rayleigh, we derive a closed-form approximate expression for the outage probability of the post-receiver signalto- noise ratio (SNR) of each data stream at the destination and analyze the diversity order. The validity of the outage probability expression is confirmed with the numerical results.
