Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) technology is one of the most attractive candidates for fourth generation (4G) mobile radio communication. It effectively combats the multipath fading channel and improves the bandwidth efficiency. At the same time, it also increases system capacity so as to provide a reliable transmission. However, the main d...

Selected Mapping (SLM) is a PAPR reduction technique, which converts the OFDM signal into several independent signals by multiplication with the phase sequence set and transmits one of the signals with lowest PAPR. But it requires the index of the selected signal i.e. side information (SI) to be transmitted with each OFDM symbol. The PAPR reduction capability of the SLM scheme depends on the se...

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...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a peculiar case of multicarrier transmission technique for high speed data transmission over multipath fading channels. The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is one of the most detrimental aspects in the OFDM system, as it degrades the efficiency of the power amplifier in the transmitter. Discrete Cosine Transform-II (DCT-II) is a less ...

Being a multicarrier modulation scheme, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems generally produce transmit signals with high Peak to Average Power Ratio or PAPR. Amongst numerous PAPR reduction strategies found in the literature, a relatively new but promising technique is the null and data subcarrier switching method. In this paper, we propose a new approach of null-data subc...

An OFDM system is combined with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in order to increase the diversity gain and system capacity over the time variant frequency-selective channels. However, a major drawback of MIMO-OFDM system is that the transmitted signals on different antennas might exhibit high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR).In this paper, we present a PAPR analysis reduction of space-...

This paper presents a new technique to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in OFDM system by insertion of extra semi-dummy sequence in frequency domain. The extra sequence is generated via Fourier transform of a number of the data modulated symbols. The proposed technique provides instant frequency domain process for the PAPR problem solution. For the 16PSK-OFDM system using 512 subca...

OFDM is an attractive signaling scheme for communication systems and adopted in many wireless standards. One of the challenging issues for OFDM system is its high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which limits its applications in communication systems. In fact, the PAPR problem is one of the most detrimental aspects in the OFDM systems as it can cause power degradation and spectral spreading. ...

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...
