Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) suffers from a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Tone reservation (TR) technology is considered as one of the most promising methods because of no additional distortion, no side information, and low implementation cost. However, in all PAPR reduction schemes,determining the optimal target clipping level is difficult. In this paper, we con...

In this paper, the Peak-to-Average Ratio reduction in OFDM systems is implemented by the Adaptive Active Constellation Extension (ACE) technique which is more simple and attractive for practical downlink implementation purpose. However, in normal constellation method we cannot achieve the minimum PAR if the target clipping level is much below than the initial optimum value. To get the better of...

This paper explores low complexity clipping of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmit signal for critically sampled or oversampled complex data as a solution for the Peak to Average Power Reduction (PAPR) problem. Four existing clipping algorithms are compared to two new low complexity algorithms in an OFDM environment. Their performance is examined through mathematical a...

Development of communication systems allows people to easily record and distribute their speech. The clipping-noise, however, degrades the sound quality in the speech recording when gain level of input signals is excessive in the maximum range of an amplitude. In this case, it is necessary to suppress the clippingnoise in the observed speech for improving its sound quality. Although a linear pr...

The speech intelligibility index (SII) (ANSI S3.5-1997) provides a means for estimating speech intelligibility under conditions of additive stationary noise or bandwidth reduction. The SII concept for estimating intelligibility is extended in this paper to include broadband peak-clipping and center-clipping distortion, with the coherence between the input and output signals used to estimate the...

The MMXTM technology and SSE/SSE2 (streaming-SIMDextensions) introduced a variety of SIMD instructions that can exploit data parallelism in numerical and multimedia applications. In particular, new saturation and clipping instructions can boost the performance of applications that make extensive use of such operations. Unfortunately, due to the lack of support for saturation and clipping operat...

background: management of intracranial aneurysms has made debates about the best treatment modality in recent years. the aim of this study was to compare the interventional outcomes between two groups of patients, one treated with endovascular coiling and the other treated with surgical clipping. methods: this prospective study included 48 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent endo...
