Nonlinear distortions and impairments appear in multicarrier signal with high fluctuations when amplified by a Radio Frequency Power Amplifier (RF PA). Clipping (CL) technique offers a simple way to reduce these fluctuations in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Technique, but may degrade seriously the transmission quality. This is why the new mobile standards propose other methods, like the Tone Reservation (TR) technique in the Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T), that reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) without reaching optimal performances. This paper deals with how we can use the TR technique, which exploits null sub-carriers for generating corrective signal, in combining to CL technique in order to improve PAPR reduction without data loss. Also, we show some comparison results on the PAPR reduction obtained with proposed scheme and other techniques. Experiments using a simulated example on a complete WiMax 802.16e transmitter have been made in order to investigate the PAPR reduction performances on presence of the non-linear Power Amplifier model based on gain compression response and phase distortion.

<span>One of the major problems that faces any wireless communication system that apply multicarrier modulation technology is large Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). There are divers PAPR reduction methods to solve this problem. Tone Reservation (TR) scheme is one of the most famous PAPR reduction techniques in which a peak cancelling signal is added to the original one in such a way that PAPR will reduce. Companding is another easy PAPR reduction technique in which compression of large amplitude samples and expansion of low one. In this paper, we suggest a new PAPR reduction scheme based on combining tone reservation and companding techniques for FBMC-OQAM systems. The simulation results show that the new scheme (TR&amp;Compd) presents better result in term of PAPR reduction compared to TR and Companding methods taken separately.</span>
