OFDM系统中一种联合改进的低复杂度SLM峰均比抑制技术

高的峰值平均功率比(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio,PAPR)是光正交频分复用(Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,O-OFDM)系统的一个主要缺点,选择性映射(Selective Mapping,SLM)法能有效降低高PAPR出现的概率,但它的计算复杂度较高.一些低复杂度的SLM方案能够有效地降低复杂度,但同时也降低了PAPR的抑制性能.为了平衡这两个因素,将低复杂度SLM方案与次优选择的思想相结合,文章提出了一种联合改进的PAPR抑制方案.在低复杂度方案中,通过将一个复频域信号分为两个实信号,再利用快速傅里叶变换(Fast Fourier Transform,FFT)的平移和反折性质将其重建成新的信号,以得到更多的备选信号,如此便能降低计算复杂度.然后,再结合次优选择的思想,选择PAPR最小的一路以得到最优的PAPR抑制性能.仿真结果验证了该方案的有效性.

The New Peak-to-Average Power Reduction Algorithm in the OFDM System

In this paper, we proposed a new peak-to-average power reduction (PAPR) algorithm of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system using block coding scheme and discrete cosine transform (DCT). We are using DCT to concentrate the energy of the original signal into a few coefficients. After the DCT data were fed into the IDFT, the output of signal of OFDM appeared to have uniform distribution. With the newly proposed schemes, that we founded those three important properties, the first property is the PAPR used be reduced by 9.4419 dB for BPSK mapper. The second property is the OFDM signals have capability of noise immunity and of error correction. And the third property is the effect of PAPR reduced can be implement by cascaded different method.     

Reduction of PAPR of OFDM Signals Using Nonlinear Companding Transform

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel nonlinear companding transform (NCT) scheme for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The key idea of the proposed scheme is to transform the original Gaussian-distributed OFDM signals into a specific statistics form, whose target probability density function is defined by a piecewise function with an inflexion point. By properly choosing the transform parameters, this scheme can enable more flexibility and freedom in the companding form so that a favorable tradeoff between PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) performance can be achieved. Moreover, compared to existing NCT techniques, this scheme dramatically decreases the impact of companding distortion on the BER performance to reach a given PAPR level. The analytical expressions regarding the achievable transform gain in PAPR, complementary cumulative density function, attenuation coefficient, and selection criteria of transform parameters are derived. Simulation results justify the significance and accuracy of the analytical expressions presented.

Bit-Based SLM Schemes for PAPR Reduction in QAM Modulated OFDM Signals

In this paper, we propose two bit-based selected mapping (SLM) schemes for reducing peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), called bitwise SLM (BSLM) and partial bit inverted SLM (PBISLM). Contrary to the conventional SLM which rotates the phases of QAM symbols in the frequency domain, the proposed schemes change the magnitudes as well as the phases of QAM symbols by applying binary phase sequences to the binary data sequence before mapped to QAM symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better PAPR reduction performance with shaping gain than the conventional SLM scheme for the QAM modulated OFDM signals, especially for the small number of subcarriers.      

A ZCMT Precoding Based Multicarrier OFDM System to Minimize the High PAPR

This paper presents a Zadoff-Chu matrix transform (ZCMT) precoding based multicarrier orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) system to minimize the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In the proposed system, ZCMT kernel is applied to the constellation symbols which not only reduces PAPR but also improves bit-error-rate (BER) performance. The ZCMT precoded OFDM signals allow the radio-frequency high-power-amplifier (HPA) to operate near its saturation level, thus maximize the power efficiency. Extensive computer simulations have been performed to analyze the PAPR, BER and power-spectral-density (PSD). Simulation results show that the proposed system has excellent PAPR gain and BER performance with no spectral distortion.     

Low-complexity PAPR reduction technique for OFDM systems using modified widely linear SLM scheme

In this paper, a modified widely linear selective mapping (MWL-SLM) scheme is proposed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In the proposed MWL-SLM scheme, through partition one complex signals into two real signals and combining the linear properties of the Fourier Transform, at most 4M² candidate signals can be obtained but only require M inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) operations. As a result, the proposed SLM scheme has the ability to generate more candidates when compared with conventional SLM (C-SLM) and widely linear SLM (WL-SLM). Therefore, MWL-SLM outperforms C-SLM and WL-SLM for the same computational cost of IFFT operations. Alternatively, for a given number of candidates, MWL-SLM has slightly inferior PAPR reduction performance to C-SLM and WL-SLM but requires less IFFT operations to be implemented, thus resulting in a lower computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Selective Time-Domain Filtering for Reduced-Complexity PAPR Reduction in OFDM

A new selective time-domain filtering scheme for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. The proposed scheme not only relies on conventional pilot symbol channel estimation and demodulation techniques to recover the data in OFDM systems but also uses additional pilot symbols. The proposed scheme has greatly reduced complexity compared with the selective mapping (SLM) scheme and only slightly poorer performance than the SLM scheme. The new scheme achieves significant PAPR reduction at a cost of typically 0.1–0.75 dB in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) relative to pilot symbol OFDM not having PAPR reduction.

A post-coding scheme for peak-to-average power ratio reduction in intensity modulated optical OFDM systems

An efficient post-coding strategy is proposed in this letter to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio （PAPR） of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） signals for optical intensity modulated direct detection （IM/DD） systems. The post-coding scheme based on discrete cgsine transform （DCT） is employed after the inverse fast Fourier transform （IFFT） in the transmitter to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals. This method is different from the conventional pre-coding scheme which is employed before IFFT operation. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the new DCT post-coding strategy can significantly reduce the PAPR than the conventional pre-coding scheme. Meantime, the bit error rate （BER） performance of the proposed post-coding system can be improved compared with the conventional pre-coding scheme.     

Threshold-based piecewise companding transform for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems

Piecewise companding transform is a flexible and efficient way to solve the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. A novel threshold-based piecewise companding transform is proposed in this paper. Based on the statistical characteristics of amplitudes, OFDM signals are classified into three groups (i.e., small, average and large signals). Different from conventional approaches, two dedicated designed thresholds are set to amplify the small signals and compress the large signals, respectively. Simulation results verify the improvement in PAPR reduction of the proposed scheme. Moreover, a lower bit error rate (BER) performance loss can be obtained by introducing the iterative detection with a moderate increase in complexity.     

An erasure-based scheme for reduction of PAPR in spatial multiplexing MIMO-OFDM using Reed-Solomon codes over GF(216 + 1)

In this paper, a novel erasure-based scheme which uses long Reed-Solomon (RS) codes over GF(65537) is proposed for the reduction of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The motivation for using the field GF(65537) is to generate long code words (up to 65536 symbols in just one code word). Using long codes results in greater flexibility to search for low PAPR OFDM frames within the subsets of symbols of a code word because RS codes are maximum distance separable and any subset of a high enough number of symbols is sufficient for the recovery of data. Over this field, the lengths of code words are exponents of 2. Hence, low-complexity radix-2 fast Fourier transform can be exploited. RS codes are deployed for both PAPR reduction and error correction. Simulation results show that in similar PAPR reduction performances, the proposed scheme outperforms the previously reported work with RS codes in both error correction and computation complexity. The proposed scheme can be applied to both single-input single-output and multi-input multi-output systems.     

Nonlinear companding transform for reducing peak-to-average power ratio of OFDM signals

A new nonlinear companding transform scheme is proposed to reduce the peak-to-average ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. By exploiting statistical distribution of transmitted OFDM signals, the proposed scheme effectively reduces the PAPR by compressing the peak signals and expanding the small signals, while maintaining the average power unchanged by properly choosing transform parameters. The fact that the proposed companding scheme is described by a single-valued function allows to be transformed before amplification and to be restored the signals at the receiver. The proposed scheme can be applicable with any modulation format and subcarriers. Our simulations results confirm that the suggested scheme exhibits a good ability to reduce PAPR and a good BER performance with a solid state power amplifier (SSPA) in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.     

Sub-optimum PTS for PAPR reduction of OFDM signals

As an attractive technique for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction, partial transmit sequences (PTS) provides good PAPR reduction performance for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. However, optimum PTS (OPTS) requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase factors, resulting in the high complexity. Proposed is a sub-optimum partial transmit sequences (sub-OPTS) for PAPR reduction of OFDM signals. In sub-OPTS, both the alternate optimisation and the linear property of inverse discrete Fourier transform are employed. Simulation results show that sub-OPTS can reduce the computational complexity dramatically and achieve almost the same PAPR reduction performance compared to OPTS.     

An Adaptive Clipping and Filtering Technique for PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals

In recent years, many peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction techniques have been proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. Among various techniques, the iterative clipping and filtering (ICAF) technique has been considered as a practical scheme, and widely used owing to its non-expansion of bandwidth, low computational complexity, and simplicity in implementation without receiver-side cooperation. However, the performance of conventional ICAF technique is degraded, because the same signals are iteratively clipped with a fixed clipping threshold (CT) in every clipping operation. In this paper, we analyze the performance of conventional ICAF technique, and then propose an adaptive ICAF scheme, which clips the signal with an adaptively modified CT in every clipping operation to achieve enhanced PAPR reduction of OFDM signals. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the conventional scheme, in PAPR reduction of OFDM signals at the same number of iterations.     

Peak-to-average power control in OFDM using standard arrays of linear block codes

We propose an efficient scheme to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by using the standard arrays of linear block codes. Our scheme may be regarded as a modified version of the selective mapping (SLM), which is a probabilistic method to reduce the PAPR by selecting a signal with minimum PAPR from several candidates as the transmit signal. Because the coset leaders of a linear code are used for scrambling in our scheme, no side information is required to be transmitted and the received signal can be easily decoded by syndrome decoding. Simulation results show that our scheme has good performance in PAPR reduction.

星座图扩展（ACE）技术可以无损地降低OFDM信号的峰均比,本文的论述指出仅追求低峰均比对应的功放效率和效能并不是最好.笔者提出了OFDM信号的最佳互补累积分布函数（OCCDF）峰均比抑制方法,即考虑OFDM信号的幅度分布及出现概率,整体地评估其对放大器失真的影响,以OFDM信号放大器的效率为评估峰均比优劣的标准,在算法上以限定MER条件下得到尽可能低的功放输入功率回退（IBO）为迭代收敛目标,预见了应该存在最高功放效率意义匹配的所谓OFDM信号的最佳幅度分布.实验证实：相比原始OFDM系统,在放大基于OCCDF准则优化后的OFDM信号时,放大器获得了3.15dB的IBO性能改善,对比同等条件下单载波系统仅差0.05dB.     

A Low-BER Clipping Scheme for PAPR Reduction in STBC MIMO-OFDM Systems

Clipping is a simple scheme to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Further, it can be extended to space-time block coding (STBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM systems for the PAPR reduction. In the conventional clipping schemes for STBC MIMO-OFDM systems, the input symbols are first encoded and then clipped. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed, where the clipping operation is performed before space-time block coding. We theoretically prove that the proposed scheme has better bit-error rate (BER) performance while maintaining the same PAPR reduction as the conventional schemes. Additionally, we derive the symbol-error rate (SER) and BER expressions for the new scheme over multipath fading channels. The simulation results show a good match with our analysis.     

SFBC MIMO-OFDM peak-to-average power ratio reduction by polyphase interleaving and inversion

Many PAPR reduction schemes have been proposed for OFDM systems. Among these, the signal scrambling methods such as the partial transmit sequences (PTS) (S. H. Muller, et al., 1997) and selective mapping (SLM) (R. W. Bauml, et al., 1996) are attractive as they obtain better PAPR property by modifying OFDM signals without distortion. These schemes can also be applied to a SFBC MIMO-OFDM system, which is advantageous for dispersive channels, in a straightforward way by performing signal scrambling on data sequence before it is distributed to the transmit antennas according to employed encoding scheme. Note however that in the case of PTS PAPR reduction in the time domain is not possible, which leads to prohibitively large complexity of such scheme. In this letter, we introduce more effective approach, the polyphase interleaving and inversion (PII) PAPR scheme and its reduced complexity version (RC-PII), which is designed to suppress peaks in SFBC-OFDM, transmit diversity.
