PAPR reduction in mobile WiMAX: a novel DST precoding based random interleaved OFDMA uplink system

Mobile WiMAX is a 3rd generation broadband wireless technology that enables the convergence of mobile and fixed broadband networks through a wide area radio-access. Since January 2007, the IEEE 802.16 working group has been developing a new amendment the IEEE 802.16 standard i.e. IEEE 802.16 m as an advanced air interface to meet the requirements of ITU-R/IMT-Advanced for 4G systems. The mobile WiMAX air interface adopts orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) as multiple access technique for its uplink and downlink to improve signal performance affected by multipath distortion. All OFDMA based networks, including mobile WiMAX, experience the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This paper presents a discrete-sine-transform precoding technique based random-interleaved OFDMA (RI-OFDMA) uplink system for PAPR reduction in mobile WiMAX. The PAPR of proposed system is analyzed with root-raised-cosine pulse shaping filter to keep out of band radiation low and to fulfill the spectrum mask requirements. Simulation results show that, the proposed system has low PAPR compared to the Hadamard transform precoded RI-OFDMA uplink systems and the conventional RI-OFDMA uplink systems.     

Combining discrete cosine transform with clipping for PAPR reduction in intensity-modulated OFDM systems

In this paper, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is reduced by combining the discrete cosine transform (DCT) with clipping in optical intensity-modulated direct-detection (IM/DD) OFDM systems. First, the data are transformed into new modified data by DCT. Second, the proposed scheme utilizes the clipping technique to further reduce the PAPR of OFDM signal. We experimentally demonstrate that the optical OFDM transmission system with this proposed scheme can achieve significant performance improvement in terms of PAPR and bit error rate (BER) compared with the original optical OFDM systems.     

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.     

Transforming the Statistical Distribution of Wireless OFDM Signal for PAPR Reduction

To reduce the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, a novel nonlinear companding transform (CT) scheme is proposed in this paper. This scheme can reallocate both the amplitude/power as well as statistical distribution of the companded signal more reasonably and flexibly than existing CT methods with low computational complexity. By choosing an appropriate companding parameter, it can provide more effective PAPR reduction but at the price of a minimal amount of bit-error-rate (BER) performance degradation caused by the companding distortion. The closed-form expressions including the achievable PAPR gain, signal attenuation factor, and corresponding selection criteria for the companding parameter were derived. Computer simulations demonstrate that the scheme significantly improves the overall performances of OFDM system in terms of PAPR, BER and bandwidth efficiency under the multipath fading channel or with the high power amplifier.

     

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.     

Experimental evaluation of the BER performance in optical OFDM system based on discrete Hartley transform precoding

We experimentally assess the bit error rate （BER） performance of an intensity modulation/direct detection （IM/DD） optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） system based on discrete Hartley transform （DHT） precoding in single-mode fiber （SMF） link for 2.5 Gbit/s quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） OFDM symbol rate. The experimental results show that for the optical OFDM system based on DHT-precoding, the receiver sensitivity at the BER of 10-4 after 100 km SMF transmission is about 1.5 dBm better than that of the original QPSK OFDM signal, and the DHT-precoded OFDM QPSK signal can achieve approximately 1.3 dB of peak-to-average power ratio （PAPR） reduction.     

Walsh-Hadamard-transform-based SC-FDMA system using WARP hardware

Single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is currently being used in long-term evolution uplink communications owing to its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This study proposes a new transceiver design for an SC-FDMA system based on Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT). The proposed WHT-based SC-FDMA system has low-PAPR and better bit-error rate (BER) performance compared with the conventional SC-FDMA system. The WHT-based SC-FDMA transmitter has the same complexity as that of discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based transmitter, while the receiver's complexity is higher than that of the DFT-based receiver. The exponential companding technique is used to reduce its PAPR without degrading its BER. Moreover, the performances of different ordered WHT systems have been studied in additive white Gaussian noise and multipath fading environments. The proposed system has been verified experimentally by considering a real-time channel with the help of wireless open-access research platform hardware. The supremacy of the proposed transceiver is demonstrated based on simulated and experimental results.     

Constant Envelope OFDM

This paper describes a transformation technique aimed at solving the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem associated with OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing). Constant envelope OFDM (CE-OFDM) transforms the OFDM signal, by way of phase modulation, to a signal designed for efficient power amplification. At the receiver, the inverse transformation?phase demodulation?is applied prior to the conventional OFDM demodulator. The performance of CE-OFDM is analyzed in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels. CE-OFDM is shown to achieve good performance in dense multipath with the use of cyclic prefix transmission in conjunction with a frequencydomain equalizer (FDE). By way of computer simulation and hardware realization, CE-OFDM is shown to compare favorably to conventional OFDM.

PAPR Reduction in MIMO-OFDM Systems: Spatial and Temporal Processing

Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) technology is a promising solution for next generation wireless communications, due to high bandwidth efficiency, resistance to RF interference, and robustness to multipath fading. A major drawback of OFDM is its high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which results in non-linearities in the output signal. In this paper, two methods based on spatial/temporal processing are proposed to reduce the PAPR of MIMO-OFDM systems. These methods divide the OFDM block at each transmit antenna into some subblocks. Then, spatial and temporal processing in the form of circular shifting or interleaving are applied to generate different candidate sequences. Finally, for each transmit antenna the candidate sequence with the lowest PAPR is chosen for transmission. Compared to the conventional PAPR reduction schemes such as ordinary partial transmit sequences (O-PTS), the proposed methods require lower computational complexity and have superior PAPR reduction performance.     

Application of the Joint Fast Walsh Hadamard-Inverse Fast Fourier Transform in a LDPC Coded OFDM Wireless Communication System: Performance and Complexity Analysis

An efficient low complexity T transform which combines the Walsh Hadamard Transform and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) into a single fast orthonormal unitary transform is considered for the application in low density parity check coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LDPC-OFDM) across additive white Gaussian noise channel model and multipath fading channel models. The T-transform is developed through the sparse matrices factorization method using Kronecker product scheme. T-transform based COFDM system, which is capable of reducing peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted symbols and improving the bit error rate (BER) performance at a reasonable reduced complexity. Several signaling formats such as Quadrature phase shift keying and 16- ary Quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) are considered. A T COFDM system is described which could provide an alternative to DFT-COFDM system, and is therefore a better alternative to balance the transform complexity, PAPR reduction and system performance. Simulation results are used to examine and compare the complexity, PAR and the BER performance of T-OFDM system and DFT-OFDM system. Numerical results show that the T-COFDM system outperforms the DFT-COFDM based in the multipath channel models.

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.

Efficient PAPR Reduction in DCT-SCFDMA System Based on Absolute Exponential Companding Technique with Pulse Shaping

Discrete Cosine Transform based Single carrier frequency division multiple access (DCT-SCFDMA) is a prominent technique for providing high data rates in multimedia services. It also provides high Quality of Service to the users by mitigating the fading of signals. But High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a technical challenge which reduces the efficiency of RF power amplifiers. In this article, a novel joint scheme of PAPR reduction method is proposed and analyzed based on pulse shaping and absolute exponential companding (AEXP) technique. Our method proposes the use of standard raised cosine filter and square root raised cosine filter along with the AEXP companding process separately in DCT-SCFDMA system for different subcarrier mapping techniques e.g. interleaved frequency division multiple access and localized frequency division multiple access. Through extensive simulations, the numerical analysis presents that proposed architecture achieves significant improvements over the existing standard pulse shaping methods when used alone in DCT-SCFDMA system as far as the lowest PAPR is concerned.     

Robust Lyapunov–Krasovskii based design for explicit control protocol against heterogeneous delays

Single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is currently a widely used transmission technology that has been designated as the uplink transmission technology for the 4G mobile communications standard. SC-FDMA also has a lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) compared with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), where OFDMA is the downlink transmission technology in the 4G standard. However, the PAPR of SC-FDMA increases with the M value in an M-ary modulation scheme, causing a decrease in the efficiency of high-power amplifiers at the transmission end. This study proposes a technique for minimizing the PAPR in SC-FDMA systems by dividing a 16-QAM product code (PC) into two subblocks, one of which is dedicated to encoding transmission data for enhanced error correction, and the other is for generating PAPR-reduction signals. Moreover, this study employed the constellation extension scheme to generate PAPR reduction signals because it can prevent additional data loss caused by the generated PAPR reduction signals. Simulation results show that the proposed technique not only reduces PAPR in SC-FDMA system, but its transmission signals also outperform conventional SC-FDMA signals in error correction because of the incorporated PCs.     

用于SFBC MIMO-OFDM系统的改进SLM算法

在空频编码(SFBC)多输入多输出正交频分复用(MIMO-OFDM)系统中传输符号存在较高峰均功率比(PAPR)问题,采用SLM算法能够有效降低系统峰均功率比,但随着发射天线数的增加,较多的快速傅里叶反变换(IFFT)会增加系统的计算复杂度,因此,构造F矩阵并提出了一种基于F矩阵SFBC MIMO-OFDM系统的改进SLM算法。采用F矩阵作为相位序列组对空频编码信号进行独立处理,获得最优相位序列取共轭,将共轭序列中每两个旋转因子为一个单位交换位置,并扰码SFBC后各天线的信号,以此减少了每根发射天线上的IFFT次数。理论和MATLAB仿真分析表明,该算法获得了良好的峰均比性能,同时也降低了系统的计算复杂度。
