MC-CDMA is the most promising technique for high bit rate and high capacity transmission in wireless communication. One of the challenging issues of MC-CDMA system is very high PAPR due to large number of sub-carriers which reduces the system efficiency. This paper describes the various PAPR reduction techniques for MC-CDMA system. Criterion for the selection of PAPR reduction technique and als...

This paper presents a effective iterative piecewise linear companding transform for PAPR reduction. It also presents an efficient iterative procedure of companding. This procedure mainly aims to mitigate the companding distortion that occurs during the clipping operation. This analysis provides a trade off between the reduction in PAPR and BER performance. Simulation results shows that proposed...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered to be a promising technique against the multipath fading channel for wireless communications. One of the disadvantages of OFDM is peak to average power ratio (PAPR) problem. In this paper, we analyze a PAPR reduction system which combines a selected mapping technique (SLM) and a deliberate clipping technique. The numerical analysis...

The high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the major problems of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in wireless transmission. Therefore, partial transmit sequence (PTS), a promising scheme that can provide good PAPR reduction performance, has been proposed for OFDM transmission to eliminate distortion. The PTS method divides the input data block into disjoint s...

For providing high-data-rate offerings over wireless channels, Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) gadget had been proposed in the latest beyond. This gadget affords the advantages of space-time coding and OFDM when its miles mixed with area time coding. The MIMO-OFDM gadget also suffers from the excessive peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) trou...

One of main disadvantage of Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, two effective PAPR reduction schemes are proposed. These techniques combine the DCT and SLM techniques. The scheme 1 is composed of the DCT followed by the SLM technique, and the DCT is used followed by conventional SLM in proposed scheme 2. Simulation results...

In 1993 some hybrid technics combining OFDM and code division multiple access (CDMA) were proposed [3]. One of that technics is multicarrier code division multiple access (MCCDMA) witch introduce frequency spreading and multiple access. Both, OFDM and MCCDMA, have disadvantage in high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). There are many PAPR reduction schemes are for OFDM and most of them is usef...

This paper presents a new technique to improve the performance of OFDM systems with nonlinear amplifiers. This method aims to achieve good balances between PAPR and BER at low computer cost. A performance and complexity comparison with known techniques for BER reduction is presented. The results show that the proposed method has lower computational complexity (about 33% fewer multiplications), ...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), has recently attracted considerable attention because of its features to combat delay spread or frequency selective fading of wireless or wireline channels. One of the major drawbacks of OFDM is the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which leads to an inefficient use of high power amplifiers (HPA) in communications systems. This paper present t...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has well known advantages such as robustness against frequency selective fading and narrowband interference, high efficiency on bandwidth, and efficient implementation. Recently, OFDM has been widely used in digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T), mobile multimedia access communication (MMAC), IEEE802.11...
