Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is widely used in many digital communication systems due to its advantages such us high bit rate, strong immunity to multipath and high spectral efficiency but it suffers a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) at the transmitted signal. It is very important to deal with PAPR reduction in OFDM systems to avoid signal degradation. Currently, th...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered to be a promising technique against the multipath fading channel for wireless communications. However, OFDM faces the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem that is a major drawback of multicarrier transmission system which leads to power inefficiency in RF section of the transmitter. This paper present different PAPR reduction...

LTE (long term evolution) is come to meet our desired high speed data communication.LTE is the last step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. Where the current generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 3G (for "third generation"), LTE is marketed as 4G. LTE uses Orthogonal F...

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme is expected as an efficient technique for next generation wireless communications. However, high Peak to Average Power Ration (PAPR) of OFDM system is the main drawback which degrades the transmitter power efficiency causes poor performance of the system. To reduce PAPR of OFDM signal, several works on clipping technique have been prop...

A modified alternative signal technique for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM-OQAM) is proposed. Lower PAPR reduces the complexity of digital to analog converters and results in increasing the efficiency of power amplifiers. The main objective of the algorithm is to decrease PA...

The transcriptional regulator PlcR and its cognate cell-cell signalling peptide PapR form a quorum-sensing system that controls the expression of extra-cellular virulence factors in various species of the Bacillus cereus group. PlcR and PapR alleles are clustered into four groups defining four pherotypes. However, the molecular basis for group specificity remains elusive, largely because the bi...

This paper is concerned with the performance improvement of PAPR reduction of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal using amplitude clipping & filtering based design. Note that OFDM is one of the well adept multi-carrier multiplexing transmission scheme which has been implemented in long term evolution (LTE) downlink. Nonetheless peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is the more...

Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an attractive technique for PAPR reduction without distortion, but to obtain preferable PAPR performance it needs many inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs), which results in high computational complexity. In order to reduce the complexity, modified PTS technique, with real and imaginary parts, separately multiplied with phase factors is considered in this p...

One of the major concerns with multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) systems is the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) that can lead to degraded transmission power efficiency. Based on the well known fact that suitable allocation of user spreading codes can be used as a PAPR reduction tool, we in this contribution, investigate the PAPR property of a recently proposed spreading code set called “Ortho...

The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is a serious drawback of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM). In this paper, the advantages of two different approaches to PAPR reduction are exploited in order to reduce the PAPR more significantly. The first approach is based on clipping and provides a high PAPR reduction at the cost of signal distortion. The second approach (selectiv...
