The next generation communication network (NGCN) is expected to provide higher spectral efficiency, low latency, large throughput and massive machine-to-machine type communications. In this regard, the design of the multi-carrier waveform (MCW) is posing a major research problem for the NGCN. To overcome the stated problem, a lot of state-of-the-art work exists that proposes various MCW alternative to the standard orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform. It is true that OFDM was used in a number of real-time communication systems of fourth generation (4G) networks. However, their use in the upcoming fifth generation (5G) network is not very feasible. This is because of the strict requirements of 5G communication systems, which also extend beyond 5G systems; hence rendering the use of OFDM infeasible for newer communication standards. To satisfy the requirements of upcoming communication networks, there is a dire need for MCWs with better flexibility. In this regard, a precoding-based MCW has been proposed. The proposed MCW fulfills the requirements of the NGCN in terms of low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), high spectral efficiency and throughput. The MCW proposed in this work uses power-domain multiplexing such as non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and phase rotation by using the selective mapping (SLM) and generalized chirp-like (GCL) precoding of the input signal to the universal filtered multi-carriers (UFMC) modulations. Statistical analysis of the PAPR is presented by using the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF). The MATLAB® simulations have been carried out to implement the CCDF of PAPR and results show that a PAPR gain of 5.4 dB is obtained when the proposed waveform is compared with the standard NOMA-UFMC waveform at clip rate of 10−3, using 4-QAM.

This paper describes the aspects of multiple access for emerging (5G) Wireless Communication Systems. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is best suited for fourth generation (4G) but it suffers from the problem of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) & Side band leakage. Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has worked like an alternative to OFDMA only in the uplink process and PAPR was reduced. OFDM based 4G network is not capable of supporting diverse applications and these applications can be implemented by 5G.  High traffic requirements of 5G can be evaluated by using multiple access schemes, namely filter-bank multi-carrier (FBMC), universal-filtered multi-carrier (UFMC), generalized frequency-division multiplexing (GFDM). Comparison of PAPR reduction is done based on Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF), for various multiple access 5G waveforms.

Nowadays, fifth generation (5G) wireless network is considered one of the most important research topics in wireless industry and it will be substituting with fourth generation (4G) in several aspects. Although the robustness of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system against channel delays which is the reason behind using it in LTE/LTE Advanced however, it is suffering from high peak to average power ration (PAPR) and out of band side lobes. So, universal filtered multi-carrier (UFMC) technique is considered a new modulation scheme for 5G wireless communication system to overcome on the common OFDM demits. In contrast, to achieve reliable data transmission in digital communication systems, using error correcting codes are considered an essential over noisy channels. In this paper, BCH code has been used for UFMC system over AWGN. The results showed that using BCH codes in UFMC contributed in enhancing BER performance while could decreasing both of PAPR and OOBE values better than conventional OFDM system.

AbstractOrthogonal frequency-division multiplexing technique (OFDM) has been adopted widely as a modulation technique for radio frequency (RF) and optical communication systems such as visible-light communication (VLC) due to its high spectral efficiency and low-complexity implementation. VLC-OFDM is recommended in 5 G mobile communication. However, VLC-OFDM suffer from the high peak to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, a modified selective mapping (MSLM) method is applied to the proposed system followed by a new envelope scaling process for further reductions in PAPR of VLC-OFDM system. Simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the PAPR by about 6.8 and 1.7 dB comparing with the original signal and the traditional SLM with a number of rotation vector U = 8, respectively.

End-to-end learning in optical communication systems is a promising technique to solve difficult communication problems, especially for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The less complex, highly adaptive hardware and advantages in the analysis of unknown or complex channels make deep learning a valid tool to improve system performance. In this paper, we propose an autoencoder network combined with extended selected mapping methods (ESLM-AE) to reduce the PAPR for the DC-biased optical OFDM system and to minimize the bit error rate (BER). The constellation mapping/de-mapping of the transmitted symbols and the phase factor of each subcarrier are acquired and optimized adaptively by training the autoencoder with a combined loss function. In the loss function, both the PAPR and BER performance are taken into account. The simulation results show that a significant PAPR reduction of more than 10 dB has been achieved by using the ESLM-AE scheme in terms of the complementary cumulative distribution function. Furthermore, the proposed scheme exhibits better BER performance compared to the standard PAPR reduction methods.

Abstract Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is used with visible light communication (VLC) systems to reduce the effects of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and to achieve communication with high speed of data transmission and huge bandwidth. However, OFDM-based VLC systems suffer from high peak-to-average power ratios (PAPRs). This paper proposes a new hybrid PAPR reduction technique based on signal transformation combined with clipping. The Hadamard transform is used in the proposed technique due to its advantages in reducing the PAPR without affecting the bit error rate (BER) of VLC systems. The optimum clipping threshold at which we can simultaneously reduce the PAPR and improve the BER of VLC systems is also determined. In this paper, we also propose a new OFDM structure based on using discrete cosine transform (DCT) precoding before inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) stage to further improve the PAPR reduction capability and BER performance. Several experiments are carried out to test the performance of the proposed technique in terms of complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) and the BER. The obtained results show that the proposed technique can simultaneously reduce the PAPR and achieve good BER performance when compared to the original OFDM-based VLC system.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation is proposed in 4G wireless communication systems, and is under consideration for the next generation 5G systems. This is due to the higher spectral efficiency (SE) and the better immunity to channel distortions. One of the shortcomings in OFDM is its high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Several schemes have been proposed to reduce the PAPR in OFDM systems. This includes clipping, coding, and pre/post-distortion schemes with or without side information. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate one of the most promising method, to mitigate the effect of PAPR, entitled the partial orthogonal selective mapping (POSLM). The experimental results show a comparable performance with respect to the simulation results in terms of PAPR reduction, power spectral density (PSD), and bit error rate (BER) metrics.

The ‘Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)’ is a well-accepted and effective technology employed today and in future wireless communication systems. The combinations of OFDM and ‘multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO’) offer high quality of services and better throughput. The multicarrier OFDM system experiences a high ‘peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR’), which is the major issue in the OFDM scheme and must be truncated to achieve trustworthy communication. Due to high PAPR in a signal to be transmitted, the power amplifier in the transmitter section enters into saturation region and amplifies the signal nonlinearly, resulting in loss of orthogonality and ultimately in ‘inter-carrier interference (ICI)’. In this article, the 'iterative clipping and filtering (ICF)' method is proposed to minimize the PAPR in the OFDM system. The simulation is carried out using MATLAB (version 2014b). The result of the proposed ICF method and the ‘selective mapping (SLM)’ scheme is analyzed and compared. From the analysis, it is shown that the proposed ICF technique is more suitable for minimizing the PAPR effectively without affecting ‘bit error rates (BER)’ much and the simplicity of the system. The simulation result of the proposed ICF scheme using ‘Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)’, FFT size of 128, and clipping and filtering level up to 6 shows that the proposed ICF scheme for clipping level of 6 reduces PAPR to 5dB. Also, the BER is minimized at the level of 3×10−5 at 12 dB SNR.

Under-Water Acoustic (UWA) communication networks are commonly formed by associating various independent UWA vehicles and transceivers connected to the bottom of the sea with battery-operated power modems. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most vital innovations for UWA communications, having improved data rates and the ability to transform fading channels into flat fading. Moreover, OFDM is more robust on Inter-Symbol and Inter-Carrier Interferences (ISI and ICI respectively). However, OFDM technology suffers from a high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR), resulting in nonlinear distortions and higher Bit Error Rates (BERs). Saving power of battery deployed modems is an important necessity for sustainable underwater communications. This paper studies PAPR in UWA OFDM communications, employing Selective Mapping (SLM) as a tool to mitigate PAPR. The proposed SLM with the oversampling factor method proves to be less complex and more efficient. Simulation results indicate that SLM is a promising PAPR reduction method for UWA OFDM communications reducing BER.
