A novel search method to reduce PAPR of an OFDM signal using partial transmit sequences

One of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted OFDM signal. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique can improve the PAPR statistics of an OFDM signal. As ordinary PTS technique requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase factors, the search complexity increases exponentially with the number of sub‐blocks. In this paper, we propose a novel PTS technique with reduced complexity that each level inverts twice of phase factor bits from previous level. Then we also use initial random phase sequence to find the better search way of PAPR reduction. Numerical results show that the proposed method can achieve significant reduction in search complexity with little performance degradation. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An efficient sphere decoding approach for PTS assisted PAPR reduction of OFDM signals

It is well known that one of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the potentially high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the (OFDM) signal. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is a widely accepted method in reducing PAPR of OFDM signal. As traditional optimal PTS (OPTS) technique requires an exhaustive search over all the combinations of the allowed phase factors the search complexity increases exponentially with the number of sub-blocks. In this paper, a new precalculated radius sphere decoding (PRSD) is presented. It can achieve the same PAPR performance but at lower computational complexity compared with OPTS and existing sphere decoding (SD) approach at zero decoding failure rate.     

PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal by use of PTS with low computational complexity

One of the major drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted OFDM signal. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique can improve the PAPR statistics of an OFDM signal. However optimum PTS (OPTS) technique requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase factors, the search complexity increases exponentially with the number of sub-blocks. By combining sub-optimal PTS with a preset threshold, a novel reduced complexity PTS (RC-PTS) technique is presented to decrease the computational complexity. Numerical results show that the proposed approach can achieve better performance with lower computational complexity when compared to that of other PTS approaches.     

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.

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.     

Adaptive PAPR Reduction Scheme for OFDM Using SLM with the Fusion of Proposed Clipping and Filtering Technique in Order to Diminish PAPR and Signal Distortion

One of the main disadvantages of multicarrier transmission is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. If the highest transmitted power is confined by the application restrictions or regulatory, the result is to decrease the average power permitted under multicarrier transmission. Selected mapping (SLM) is a standard PAPR reduction scheme that is appropriate for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme as it realizes the performance of PAPR reduction without signal distortion. This paper proposes a method in order to handle the difficulties of high PAPR in OFDM scheme. The offered system is an arrangement of two distinguished methods, such as clipping and SLM. Compared to other hybrid methods, where the individual methods are implemented sequentially, this paper integrates the clipping method in the SLM procedure. This produces a supplementary PAPR reduction associated to the serial arrangement. Simulation results specify that the offered scheme acquires the performance of appropriate PAPR reduction with low computational complexity. The PAPR reduction at different number of subcarriers is analyzed and compared with the existing research work. The performance of relative energy efficiency has also been focused on this paper.

     

Selected mapping with symbol re‐mapping for OFDM/TDM using MMSE‐FDE

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals have a problem with a high peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR). A distortionless selected mapping (SLM) has been proposed to reduce the PAPR, but a high computational complexity prohibits its application to an OFDM system with a large number of subcarriers. Recently, we proposed OFDM combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) using minimum mean square error frequency‐domain equalization (MMSE‐FDE) to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of conventional OFDM with a lower PAPR. The PAPR problem, however, cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, we present an SLM combined with symbol re‐mapping for OFDM/TDM using MMSE‐FDE. Unlike the conventional OFDM, where SLM is applied over subcarriers in the frequency domain, we exploit both time and frequency dimensions of OFDM/TDM signal to improve the performance with respect to PAPR and BER. A mathematical model for PAPR distribution of OFDM/TDM with SLM is presented to complement the computer simulation results. It is shown that proposed SLM can further reduce the PAPR without sacrificing the BER performance with the same or reduced computational complexity. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A New PAPR Reduction Technique in OFDM Systems Using Linear Predictive Coding

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) has always been as a major problem in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) that leads to a severe nonlinear distortion in practical hardware implementations of high power amplifier. In this article, a new PAPR reduction method is proposed based on linear predictive coding (LPC). This method proposes the use of signal whitening property of LPC as a preprocessing step in OFDM systems. Error filtering of the proposed method removes the predictable content of stationary stochastic processes which can reduce the autocorrelation of input data sequences and is shown to be very effective solution for PAPR problem in OFDM transmissions. It is shown that the proposed method can achieve a significant reduction in PAPR without degrading the power spectral level, error performance or computational complexity of the systems. It is also shown that the proposed method is independent of modulation schemes and can be applied to any number of subcarriers under both additive white gaussian noise and wireless Rayleigh fading channel.     

基于OFDM技术的中压电力线通信中降峰平比设计

正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM）系统的一个主要缺点是峰值功率与平均功率比过高，即峰值平均功率比（Peak to Average Power Ratio，PAPR）问题。这要求系统内的一些部件需要较大的线性动态范围，以避免信号失真引起传输信号的频谱扩散及带内失真引起的误码率增加，从而增加系统实现的难度和成本。本文从工程实现复杂度与资源使用情况的综合考虑，提出了一种基于OFDM技术的中压电力线通信芯片中降低峰平比的设计。该设计方法资源耗费小，能有效地降低峰平比，而且易于实现。     

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 Modified Method Based on the Discrete Sliding Norm Transform to Reduce the PAPR in OFDM Systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technique that allows the transmission of high data rates over wideband radio channels subject to frequency selective fading by dividing the data into several narrowband and flat fading channels. OFDM has high spectral efficiency and channel robustness. However, a major drawback of OFDM is that the peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signals is high, which causes nonlinear distortion in the received data and reduces the efficiency of the high power amplifier in the transmitter. The most straightforward method to solve this problem is to use a nonlinear mapping algorithm to transform the signal into a new signal that has a smaller PAPR. One of the latest nonlinear methods proposed to reduce the PAPR is the L₂‐by‐3 algorithm, which is based on the discrete sliding norm transform. In this paper, a new algorithm based on the L₂‐by‐3 method is proposed. The proposed method is very simple and has a low complexity analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs better, has better power spectral density, and is less sensitive to the modulation type and number of subcarriers than L₂‐by‐3.     

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.     

Low-complexity selected mapping schemes for peak-to-average power ratio reduction in OFDM systems

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive transmission technique for high-bit-rate communication systems. One major drawback of OFDM is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitter's output signal. The selected mapping (SLM) approach provides good performance for PAPR reduction, but it requires a bank of inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs) to generate a set of candidate transmission signals, and this requirement usually results in high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a kind of low-complexity conversions to replace the IFFT blocks in the conventional SLM method. Based on the proposed conversions, we develop two novel SLM schemes with much lower complexity than the conventional one; the first method uses only one IFFT block to generate the set of candidate signals, while the second one uses two IFFT blocks. Computer simulation results show that, as compared to the conventional SLM scheme, the first proposed approach has slightly worse PAPR reduction performance and the second proposed one reaches almost the same PAPR reduction performance.     

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.

OFDM信号限幅滤波的性能分析

OFDM是一种多载波调制技术,其特有的调制特性决定了它有较高的峰均功率比值PAPR（Peak-to-Average Power Ratio）。高峰均功率比信号会对实际放大器提出很高的线性要求,因此它是限制OFDM技术实用化的主要障碍。目前虽有很多降低OFDM信号的PAPR的方案,但大多是以增加系统的复杂程度为代价的。限幅滤波法是一种计算复杂度较小的算法。文中针对600Mb/s高速数传数据经4路子载波（每路150Mb/s）调制后的OFDM信号的PAPR进行了分析,并对限幅滤波法进行了仿真。     

A new PTS OFDM scheme with low complexity for PAPR reduction

In this paper, we introduce a new partial transmit sequence (PTS) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme with low computational complexity. In the proposed scheme, 2/sup n/-point inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) is divided into two parts. An input symbol sequence is partially transformed using the first l stages of IFFT into an intermediate signal sequence and the intermediate signal sequence is partitioned into a number of intermediate signal subsequences. Then, the remaining n-l stages of IFFT are applied to each of the intermediate signal subsequences and the resulting signal subsequences are summed after being multiplied by each member of a set of W rotating vectors to yield W distinct OFDM signal sequences. The one with the lowest peak to average power ratio (PAPR) among these OFDM signal sequences is selected for transmission. The new PTS OFDM scheme reduces the computational complexity while it shows almost the same performance of PAPR reduction as that of the conventional PTS OFDM scheme.
