Multiple-input to multiple-output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are the utmost widely used wireless communication system because of its large benefits and advantageous. Though MIMO OFDM systems have high advantages there is a major drawback that makes the system noisy and the inefficient use of bandwidth. This drawback mainly occurred due to the spikes in the transmitting signal. These spikes make the value of peak to average power ratio of the signal high and results in distortion and noise in the signal. To avoid these spikes there are number of techniques introduced. We will discuss about the three methods namely partial transmit sequence, clipping and filtering method, Selective Mapping technique. All these methods are used to decrease the high peak to the average ratio by removing the spikes in the signal. And we will see the outputs obtained by using MATLAB software. Clipping and filtering technique would be the simplest technique to lower the peak to average power ratio while partial transmit technique is the most efficient method to diminish the peak to the average power ratio.

AbstractA major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is the high value of peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Partial transmit sequences (PTS) is a popular PAPR reduction method with good PAPR reduction performance, but its search complexity is high. In this paper, in order to reduce PTS search complexity we propose a new technique based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO). More specifically, we present a new Generalized Oppositional Biogeography Based Optimization (GOBBO) algorithm which is enhanced with Oppositional Based Learning (OBL) techniques. We apply both the original BBO and the new Generalized Oppositional BBO (GOBBO) to the PTS problem. The GOBBO-PTS method is compared with other PTS schemes for PAPR reduction found in the literature. The simulation results show that GOBBO and BBO are in general highly efficient in producing significant PAPR reduction and reducing the PTS search complexity.


In the transmitted signal, the high peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) is the real disadvantage of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Among different PAPR reduction techniques, selected mapping (SLM) is a famous strategy that accomplishes good PAPR reduction performance without signal distortion. Likewise, Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is additionally solitary of the successful techniques to decrease the PAPR in OFDM. Though, result an optimal segment issue in PTS system is measured to exist a critical concern. To progress the existing PAPR reduction techniques, we have incorporated ideal SLM and PTS based PAPR reduction strategy in parallel. By utilizing, the OGWO algorithm; the transmit succession was chosen with least PAPR above all communication antennas. The proposed PAPR reduction approach is applied independently on each transmitted antenna, and so the PAPR can be extremely reduced. Moreover, the OGWO optimization based PAPR reduction technique will provide better performance and it was been promoted as an uncomplicated way for PAPR reduction. The proposed approach will be analyzed with various novel PAPR reduction schemes to show the effectiveness.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered nowadays as a strong candidate solution for the spectrum scarcity problem. On standards level, many cognitive radio standards have chosen Non-Contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NC-OFDM) as their modulation scheme. Similar to OFDM, NC-OFDM suffers from the problem of having a high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). If not solved, either the transmitted signal will be distorted, which will cause interference to primary (licensed) users, or the effeciency of the power amplifier will be seriously degraded. The effect of the PAPR problem in NC-OFDM based cognitive radio networks is worse than normal OFDM systems. In this paper, we propose enhanced techniques to reduce the PAPR in NC-OFDM systems. We start by showing that combining two standard PAPR reduction techniques (interleaver-based and selective mapping) results in a lower PAPR than using them individually. Then, an “adaptive number of interleavers” will be proposed that achieves the same performance of conventional interleaver-based PAPR reduction while reducing the CPU time by 41.3%. Finally, adaptive joint interleaver with selective mapping is presented, and we show that it gives the same performance as conventional interleaver-based technique, with reduction in CPU time by a factor of 50.1%.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is a multi-carrier modulation technique which provides numerous advantages like high spectral efficiency, minimal interference, low multipath fading, etc. But Peak-to-average Power Ratio is a severe challenge in using such multiplexing technique as it introduces distortions in nonlinear devices. Various Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction techniques have been investigated in the literature to improve the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing systems. But, each of them suffers either from high complexity or degraded bit error rate or less spectral efficiency. For reducing Peak-to-average Power Ratio more effectively, a hybrid combination of Partial Transmit Sequence with Selective Mapping is detected to show better performance. In this paper, we have combined Goppa coding technique with this hybrid Selective Mapping and Partial Transmit Sequence for further improving the performance. Along with Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction capability, the proposed technique also has inherent error control mechanism due to the use of coding. Based on the simulation results, we have concluded that the proposed technique provides good amount of Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction than conventional techniques. The proposed technique is analyzed for different number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol candidates for Selective Mapping and different number of block divisions for Partial Transmit Sequence. Further, this technique is simulated for different number of subcarriers and modulation order and the simulation results are compared with each other. The proposed technique also shows better Bit error rate values for high Signal-to-Noise ratio.

Abstract Non contiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM) is an efficient and adaptable multicarrier modulation scheme to be used in cognitive radio communications. However like OFDM, NC-OFDM also suffers from the main drawback of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper PAPR has been reduced by employing three different trigonometric transforms. Discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete sine transform (DST) and fractional fourier transform (FRFT) has been combined with conventional selected level mapping (SLM) technique to reduce the PAPR of both OFDM and NC-OFDM based systems. The method combines all the transforms with SLM in different ways. Transforms DCT, DST and FRFT have been applied before the SLM block or inside the SLM block before IFFT. Simulation results show the comparative analysis of all the transforms using SLM in case of both OFDM and NC-OFDM based systems.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique is becoming the chosen modulation technique for wireless communications. OFDM can provide large data rates with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. There are two main drawbacks with OFDM, the peak to average power ratio and its sensitivity to frequency errors. The signal peak to average power ratio reduction solution play an important role to improve performance of OFDM that peak occurs after symbols fed to FFT to produce time domain signal, adding signals up coherently. In This paper we proposes technique to reduce the PAPR using Huffman coding combined with selective interleaver as distortion less scrambling technique. We utilize the amount saved in the total bit rate by the Huffman coding to send the information of the selected interleaver and encoding table for accurate decoding at the receiver without reducing the effective throughput. Performed computer simulations have shown that the proposed scheme outperform the performance of most of the recent PAPR reduction techniques in most cases. By using this method 2.63 dB PAPR reduction is achieved.

<p>Three of the most important techniques of Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are Partial Transmit Sequence PAPR (PTS-PAPR), Selected Mapping PAPR (SLM-PAPR) and Cross-Correlation-PTS. This paper performs a complete analysis on these three techniques providing simulation and discussion of their performance on PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER). Moreover, the comparison of these methods by using Saleh model amplifier in an OFDM system is provided. The results show that PTS-PAPR outperforms the Cross-Correlation-PTS in terms of PAPR performance while Cross-Correlation-PTS method is more efficient in BER reduction compared to PTS-PAPR and SLM-PAPR.</p>
