Abstract The main drawback in the performance of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is the higher Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signals at the transmitter side. Companding is a well-known technique useful for reducing PAPR in the OFDM signal. This paper proposes a new nonlinear companding scheme that transforms the magnitude of Rayleigh distributed OFDM signal of specific degree into trapezoidal distribution. Additional design parameter is used in the proposed companding scheme to make the companding function more flexible. In the designed OFDM system the companding function has more degree of freedom which improves the PAPR and bit error rate (BER) parameters of the designed system. It has been demonstrated that the designed companding scheme provides more flexibility to accomplish an optimum trade-off between the performance parameters PAPR and BER of the designed OFDM system.

Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) has been known to be a common problem in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The peak value of power signals has contributed to other problems, thus the implementation of OFDM system in many wireless applications has been growing slowly. There are many techniques being discussed to reduce the PAPR in OFDM systems where one of them is reduction through scrambling. In this paper, a technique that is based on scrambling method in order to reduce high PAPR in OFDM system is introduced. This proposed technique is called the Selective Codeword Shift (SCS). The key idea of SCS is to produce a scramble data sequence where the candidate with minimum PAPR will then be selected for transmission. This has shown an improvement in reducing PAPR as compared to original OFDM signals and the conventional Selective Mapping (SLM) technique with 29.5% improvement. This technique also has the advantage of lower computational complexity as compared to conventional SLM where no multiplication of the phase factor involved in the process and no explicit side information was needed to retrieve the transmitted data at the receiver.

The high peak to average power ration (PAR) levels of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals attract the attention of many researchers during the past decade. Existing approaches that attack this PAR issue are abundant, but no systematic framework or comparison between them exists to date. They sometimes even differ in the problem definition itself and consequently in the basic approach to follow. In this paper, we propose a new trend in mitigating the peak power problem in OFDM system based on modeling the effects of clipping and amplifier nonlinearities in an OFDM system. We showed that the distortion due to these effects is highly related to the dynamic range itself rather than the clipping level or the saturation level of the nonlinear amplifier, and thus we propose two criteria to reduce the dynamic range of the OFDM, namely, the use of MSK modulation and the use of Hadamard transform. Computer simulations of the OFDM system using Matlab are completely matched with the deduced model in terms of OFDM signal quality metrics such as BER, ACPR, and EVM. Also simulation results show that even the reduction of PAR using the two proposed criteria is not significat, and the reduction in the amount of distortion due to HPA is truley delightful.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique widely used in today's wireless communication systems due to its ability to combat the effects of multi-path in the signal. However, one of the main limitations of the use of OFDM is its high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), which reduces the efficiency of the OFDM system. The effects of PAPR can produce both out-of-band and in-band radiation, which degrades the signal by increasing the bit error rate (BER), this occurs in both baseband and bandpass sginals. In this document the effect of the PAPR in a OFDM passband signal is analyzed considering the implementation of a High Power Amplifier (HPA) and the Simple Amplitude Predistortion-Orthogonal Pilot Sequences (OPS-SAP) scheme to reduce the PAPR.

Through the combined use of multiple input, multiple output, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technologies, mankind has achieved a huge leap in the data rate of gigabit per second with the birth of 5G wireless technology. With frequency selective fading, multiple (OFDM MIMO) is possible. One of its most important performance concerns is PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio), which renders OFDM particularly vulnerable to harmonic distortion, reducing channel estimation accuracy and resulting in a lower bit error rate (BER). We propose a selective codeword shift mapping method for the MIMO-OFDM system (SCS-SLM). It lowers the PAPR and causes the power amplifier to operate in the non-linear area, resulting in intermodulation between sub-carriers, signal constellation, bit error rate distortion, as well as enhanced system performance. Furthermore, employing space-time-frequency block code (STFBC OFDM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing might improve BER performance. This paper mentions a useful strategy for minimizing the PAPR, which is Selective Mapping. In addition, the bit error rate performance and, as a result, the process complexity for this system is discussed. In addition to the above-mentioned analysis, a thorough analysis of the mutual independence of the alternative OFDM signals generated using this technique is also discussed. Furthermore, this new approach has the important benefit of removing the extra bits on the side of the transmitted OFDM signal.

Abstract Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the major limitations of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems because the higher PAPR induces the signal to get out of linear region of high power amplifier (HPA). In this article, a hybrid PAPR reduction scheme based on the combination of optimized iterative clipping and filtering (OICF) method and phase rotation is proposed. Using phase rotation, signal’s initial PAPR has been reduced by 14.23 dB and then OICF further reduces the final PAPR by 1.37 dB. Decreased PAPR will play an important role in reducing systems power consumption.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely used in various high data rate wireless communications standards. The high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) has however been known to be a constant problem in OFDM systems. The high PAPR in the OFDM system has led to many problems such as signal distortion, energy spilling to the adjacent channel and reducing system performance gradually. In this paper, a technique involving the manipulation of codeword using circulant shift will be introduced. The key idea of the proposed technique is to generate scramble data sequences like the conventional selective mapping (SLM) technique. The simulation results showed that the proposed technique overcame original OFDM signals and conventional SLM with a 19.5% improvement and 1.1 dB difference from conventional SLM. Besides that, the proposed technique offered a lower computationally complexity where the number of IFFT blocks can be reduced by about 57% as compared to conventional SLM.

Abstract A combined digital pre-distortion (DPD) and peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction for Filtered Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) systems is proposed where F-OFDM is one of the candidates for 5G waveform technology. In the system, the power amplifier (PA) will produce nonlinear distortion because it works in the saturation region and the high PAPR. DPD based on PAPR reduction structure may be adopted to compensate the nonlinear resulting from PAs. Firstly, in order to reduce the PAPR, a low complexity iterative partial transmission sequence (IPTS) algorithm combined with iterative clipping revision (ICR) is introduced. And then, the joint structure of DPD and IPTS-ICR is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed structure can improve the PAPR suppression performance of F-OFDM system compared to low complexity IPTS algorithm or ICR algorithm alone. The proposed structure can also effectively improve the nonlinear distortion of the F-OFDM system.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is extensively applied in the downlink of narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT). However, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM systems leads to a decrease in transmitter efficiency. Therefore, the researchers proposed the artificial neural network (ANN) based PAPR reduction schemes. However, these schemes have the disadvantages of high complexity or cannot overcome the defects of traditional schemes. In this paper, a novel PAPR reduction scheme based on neural networks (NNs) is proposed for OFDM systems. This scheme establishes a PAPR reduction module based on NN, which is trained using the low PAPR data obtained by the simplified clipping and filtering (SCF) method. To overcome the defect of poor BER performance of the SCF scheme, a recovery module is introduced at the receiver, to recover the distorted signal. To realize the improvement of BER performance and the reduction of PAPR simultaneously, the two modules are jointly trained based on multiobjective optimization. Experimental results based on a 100 MHz OFDM signal show that this scheme can reduce PAPR by 4.5 dB. Meanwhile, the BER of this scheme can be reduced to 0.001 times that of the SCF scheme.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), widely used in digital wireless communication, has a major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A reduced complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme has been proposed to solve high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In the proposed PTS scheme, a function is generated by summing the power of time domain samples at time ‘n’ in each sub blocks, known as “Hn”.Only those samples, having Hn greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (αT) are used for peak power calculation during the process of selecting a candidate signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission. As compared to conventional PTS scheme, the proposed scheme achieves almost the same PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity.

Instability of the local oscillator causes phase noise – a phenomenon that is a disadvantage and is considered to be a major obstacle in the functioning of coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. An attempt has been made in this paper to reduce the effects of common phase errors generated by phase noise. In this paper, a least mean square (LMS) based algorithm is proposed for estimation of phase noise. Using this proposed algorithm, the major problem of phase ambiguity caused by cycle slip is avoided and the bit error rate is greatly improved. Further, there is no requirement for modifying the frame structure of OFDM using this algorithm. A CO-OFDM system with the 8-PSK technique is used to implement the algorithm concerned. Furthermore, the algorithm, using the 8-PSK modulation technique, is analyzed and compared with the existing QPSK technique and with other algorithms. The investigations reveal that 8-PSK outperforms existing LMS algorithms using other techniques and significantly reduces the bit error rate.
