Optimization of Peak to Average Power Reduction in OFDM

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) a multicarrier system [1, 2] provides base for all advanced wireless communication system. The performance of OFDM is degraded by peak-to-averagepower ratio (PAPR). High PAPR requires high power amplifiers (HPAs). The nonlinearity of the HPA exhibits amplitude and section distortions, that cause loss of orthogonality among the subcarriers, and hence, intercarrier interference (ICI) is introduced inside the transmitted signal. Not only that, high PAPR put together lands up in in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation. Rather than using HPA’s, the only way to improve performance of OFDM system is to reduce PAPR. The PAPR reduction of OFDM system gives fair reduction in PAPR under partial transmits sequence (PTS) and DCT-SLM techniques. Here in this paper we proposed a combination of PTS and DCT-SLM and an algorithm to cut back the PAPR. This hybrid combined technique reduces PAPR effectively and minimizes the complexity of PTS technique.     

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.     

Adaptive multiple stage K-best successive interference cancellation algorithm for MIMO detection

In this study, we propose a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for joint peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. High PAPR not only complicates a distortion of a signal at the nonlinear high-power amplifier of a transmitter the design, but also in significant performance degradation. Tone injection (TI) scheme is a well-known PAPR reduction technique for OFDM systems. The key idea of the proposed method is a distortionless technique that can reduce PAPR significantly without data rate loss and does not require the extra side information. But unfortunately, in optimal TI-based OFDM systems, the PAPR reduction performance mainly requires an exhaustive search over all possible constellations, which is a hard optimization problem and potential problem for practical applications. To address this problem, an efficient scheme based on firefly algorithm is introduced to search over all combinations of possible permutations of the expanded constellation with low complexity and fast convergence. The simulation results reveal that our system can achieve good tradeoff between PAPR reduction performance and low computational complexity.     

A Modified SLM Scheme With Low Complexity for PAPR Reduction of OFDM Systems

In this paper, we propose a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, called a modified selected mapping (SLM) scheme, which considerably reduces the computational complexity with keeping the similar PAPR reduction performance compared with the conventional SLM scheme. The proposed scheme is analytically and numerically evaluated for the OFDM system specified in the IEEE 802.16 standard. For the OFDM system with 2048 subcarriers, the proposed scheme with 4 binary phase sequences can reduce the complex multiplications by 63.5% with the similar PAPR reduction compared with the SLM scheme with 16 binary phase sequences.

Modified selected mapping technique for PAPR reduction of coded OFDM signal

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal is a major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In this paper, we propose a modified selective mapping (SLM) technique for PAPR reduction of coded OFDM signal. In this technique, we embed the phase sequence, which is used to lower the PAPR of the data block, in the check symbols of the coded OFDM data block. It is shown that we can achieve both PAPR reduction from the SLM technique as well as error performance improvement from the channel coding with no loss in data rate from the transmission of side information. In addition, approximate expression for the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of the PAPR of the modified SLM technique is derived and compared with the simulation results.     

Peak power reduction scheme base on transform kernel scrambling for OFDM systems

This work presents a novel transform kernel scrambling (TKS) scheme for reducing the peak-to-average transmitter power ratio (PAPR) for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. This scrambling scheme suppresses the peak envelope power of OFDM signals due to de-correlation among the original QAM constellation in multiple OFDM symbols via transformation. The performance of the reduction of PAPR for OFDM signals with various unitary transform kernels is also evaluated. Since specific unitary transform kernels in TKS processing block is only used for scrambling, no side information is required. For the ease of presentation, the system performance has been demonstrated by a computer simulation. Simulation results confirm the superiority of the proposed scheme in the PAPR reduction.     

Combined Selective Mapping and Binary Cyclic Codes for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

In this paper, we consider reduction of PAPR in OFDM systems with BPSK subcarriers by combining SLM and binary cyclic codes. This combining strategy can be used for both error correction and PAPR reduction. We decompose a binary cyclic code into direct sum of two cyclic subcodes: the correction subcode used for error correction and the scrambling subcode for PAPR reduction. The transmitted OFDM signal is selected that achieves minimum PAPR, from the set of binary cyclic codewords. The received signal can be easily decoded without the need of any side information. Simulations show that the proposed scheme with simplex code as scrambling subcode achieves good PAPR reduction.     

基于功放效率的OFDM信号幅度的最佳分布——峰均比抑制

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.     

一种降低OFDM信号PAPR的新方法

正交频分复用(OFDM)技术的一个缺点是信号的高峰值平均功率比(PAPR)大大降低了系统中线性功放的效率。本文提出一种新的基于Nyquist脉冲成形的PAPR抑制方法。这种方法基于选择适当的Nyquist脉冲波形集合对OFDM的各个子载波进行脉冲成形。分析论证了该方法的PAPR上限值和所用的脉冲成形波形集合。仿真结果表明该方法能有效降低任意子载波数目的OFDM信号的PAPR值,而且与已有方法相比应用更为简单。因此脉冲成形技术不仅能对传输信号进行频谱成形来提高系统的频带利用率,而且还可以减小信号的PAPR值。     

A computationally efficient selected mapping technique for reducing PAPR of OFDM

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, high value of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is an operational problem that may cause non-linear distortion resulting in high bit error rate. Selected mapping (SLM) is a well known technique that shows good PAPR reduction capability but inflicts added computational overhead. In this paper, using Riemann sequence based SLM method, we applied reverse searching technique to find out low PAPR yielding phase sequences with significant reduction in computational complexity. Additionally, we explored side-information free transmission that achieves higher throughput but sacrifices PAPR reduction. Finally, to overcome this loss in PAPR reduction, we proposed application of Square-rooting companding technique over the output OFDM transmitted signal. Simulation results show that the proposed method is able to compensate the sacrifice in PAPR and achieved PAPR reduction of 8.9 dB with very low computational overhead.

A Robust Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction Scheme by Inserting Dummy Signals with Enhanced Partial Transmit Sequence in OFDM Systems

Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main drawbacks in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. High PAPR forces the power amplifier to back off in order to operate in its linear region, which degrades the power efficiency of the system. Several PAPR reduction techniques have been developed, but most of them have not considered both complexity and PAPR reduction. In this paper, a novel PAPR reduction scheme based on the insertion of dummy sequences to an enhanced partial transmit sequence is proposed. By applying this scheme the PAPR performance is enhanced compared to the conventional methods while the complexity is significantly reduced. Numerical analysis is carried out with OFDM signal and QPSK modulation.     

SLM based PAPR reduction of OFDM signal using new phase sequence

One of the main issues of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal which adversely affects the complexity of power amplifiers. The selected mapping (SLM) technique is one of the promising PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM. In this reported work, rows of normalised Riemann matrices are selected as phase sequence vectors for the SLM technique. MATLAB simulations show PAPR reduction of around 2.3 dB using the proposed method compared with methods reported in the literature.     

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     

降低PAPR的PTS算法比较

正交频分复用（OFDM）是一种有效降低符号间干扰的高速数据调制技术。在技术实现过程中若峰均比（PAPR）过高,发射机和接收机内部放大器线性要求就会很高,从而限制了OFDM调制技术的实际应用。部分传输序列（PTS）算法可以有效地降低峰均比。在此通过介绍几种改进型的部分传输序列方法,并且在峰均比降低性能、计算复杂度和其他性能指标几个方面做出了分类对比,这对今后降低PAPR的研究有一定的指导意义。     

On the Use of Hexagonal Constellation for Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction of an ODFM Signal

One of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signal. In this paper, we propose the use of hexagonal constellation for PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal. Because hexagonal constellation is the densest packing of regularly spaced points in two dimensions, we can have more signal points in a given area with hexagonal constellation than with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. We can exploit these extra degrees of freedom provided by the hexagonal constellation for PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal. We will apply the proposed technique to eliminate data rate loss due to the side information in partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique and selected mapping (SLM) technique.
