Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique used in the wireless broadband communication systems these days. It is a form of multi-carrier modulation technique. High spectral efficiency, robustness to channel fading, immunity to impulse interference, uniform average spectral density, capacity to handle very strong echoes and very less nonlinear distortion are the ...

The Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is currently viewed as an important implementation issue in communication systems. Specifically, for wireless cellular systems the price of the mobile unit is required to remain low. This means that a limited PAPR can be supported. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Single Carrier (SC) are the prominent candidates for the next generation...

Abstract A modification of transmit filtering in single-carrier (SC) transmission yields an improvement of system performance in aspects of either peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) or error probability. In this paper, such a novel transmit filtering is introduced in order to reduce PAPR, while maintaining the error probability similar to conventional transmit filter. The filter is determined b...

In order to reduce the Peak-To-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in the embedded multi-service based on Digital Television Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) system, a new technique that changes the mapping method by randomizing is proposed in this paper. With randomizing mapping strategy, system PAPR is much lower and can be used in industry application without extraordinary complexity. The a...

This paper addresses the problem of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. It also introduces a new PAPR reduction technique based on adaptive square-rooting (SQRT) companding process. The SQRT process of the proposed technique changes the statistical characteristics of the OFDM output signals from Rayleigh distribution to Gaussian-like ...

This letter presents an improved peak cancellation (PC) scheme for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The main idea is based on a serial peak cancellation (SPC) mode for alleviating the peak regrowth of the conventional schemes. Based on the SPC mode, two particular algorithms are developed with different tradeoff between P...

This paper proposes belief propagation based combined decoding scheme for low-density parity-check (LDPC)-coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system with a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction using the partial transmit sequence (PTS), which does not transmit PTS side information about the phase factors. Keywords— Belief Propagation (BP), Partial Transmit Sequence (P...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become the popular modulation technique in high speed wireless communications. One of the main disadvantages of Orthogonal Frequency Division multiplexing (OFDM) is its high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), which significantly reduces the efficiency of the High Power Amplifier (HPA). Due to the simplest way for PAPR reduction, clipping te...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an efficient method of data transmission for high speed communication systems. However, the main drawback of OFDM system is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. OFDM consist of large number of independent subcarriers, as a result of which the amplitude of such signal can have high peak values. Pulse shaping u...
