The new generation of wireless communication systems involves several different technologies. The universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) is one of these technologies. UFMC supports various numerology designs; however, the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is a major limitation faced by designers. Therefore, diverse approaches have been introduced, such as amplitude clipping, tone reservation, and active constellation extension, to mitigate the PAPR problem. These algorithms produce significant degradation in terms of bit error rate or power consumption. Another proposed solution is multiple signal representation schemes, which have promised to conserve bit error rate performance without power waste. Selected mapping is a multiple signal representation technique that reduces the PAPR without bit error degradation. This paper focuses on integrating the selected mapping method with the UFMC. Simulation results show that the integrated algorithm presents better PAPR performance: the PAPR was reduced by 2.1 dB and 1 dB for UFMC and CP-OFDM, respectively, without bit error rate degradation.

The new generation of wireless communication systems has adopted different waveforms. The universal filtered multicarrier is one of the adopted candidates that has symmetry with various numerology designs. However, the high peak to average power ratio is one of the major limitations faced by universal filter multicarrier (UFMC) designers. Moreover, recent studies utilize cubic metric along with the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) to show the power back-off effect of the signal in which the PAPR metric identifies the maximum peak and the cubic metric (CM) identifies the Out of Band emission and In-Band distortion. Most of the current solutions, such as amplitude clipping, tone reservation, and active constellation extension, decrease the PAPR but cause degradation to the bit error rate. Selected mapping is one of the promising techniques that is recently used to solve the PAPR and CM problems without causing bit error rate (BER) degradation. In this paper, the selected mapping (SLM) is integrated with UFMC to reduce the PAPR and CM without affecting the BER of 5G networks. The SLM-UFMC solution model is simulated by MATLAB and the results show that the SLM-UFMC model presents better PAPR and CM performance without BER degradation. The PAPR has been decreased to 1.5 dB with respect to eight-phase rotation vectors and the CM decreased to 1.25 dB compared to the conventional UFMC.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) contribute high data rates in current as well as future wireless communication systems but it aches from high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). But this high PAPR makes the High-Power Amplifier (HPA) complex which increases the cost of it and leads to the drawbacks like Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) and rise in out of band radiation. Even though many techniques are there to decrease the complexity of HPA by reducing the PAPR, Selected Mapping (SLM) and the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) provides less PAPR with low complexity. In this paper, both PTS and SLM are combined with Discrete Sine Transform (DST) and their PAPR and efficiencies are also compared with OFDM signal. The proposed hybrid DST-PTS and DST-SLM provides less PAPR compared to OFDM, SLM and PTS techniques with low complexity. Also, the bit error rate for DST-SLM and DST-PTS techniques are compared for different values of SNR. In future wireless communication systems, these proposed techniques can be used as they provide less bit error rate and less PAPR with low complexity

A high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the major drawbacks to using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. The three most effective distortionless techniques for PAPR reduction are partial transmit sequence (PTS), selective mapping (SLM), and tone reservation (TR). However, the high computational complexity due to the inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) is a problem with these approaches. Implementation of these techniques typically employ direct computation of the IDFT, which is not the most efficient solution. In this paper, we consider the development and performance analysis of these distortionless techniques in conjunction with low-complexity IFFT algorithms to reduce the PAPR of the OFDM signal. Recently, proposed IFFT-based techniques are shown to substantially reduce the computational complexity and improve PAPR performance.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) while being an efficient scheme for high data rate wireless communications has drawbacks such as higher Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). To reduce PAPR, use of multiple signal representation technique such as Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) is one of the favored techniques. However, the use of conventional PTS technique need excessive number of complex calculations in order to search for all permissible combinations of phase sequences causing steep increase in complexity in terms of complex computations. Paper aims to reduce the cumbersome process of phase selection by making use of the similarity of the phase vectors. The phase vectors are obtained sequentially and thus minimize the number of changes from one phase vector to another. Theoretical analysis shows that computational complexity is significantly reduced with the help of this proposed novel technique. We have also demonstrated that PAPR values are similar i.e. PAPR reduction capability remains similar but at reduced complexity.

Abstract In this paper, two new companders are designed to reduce the ratio of peak to average power (PAPR) experienced by filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) signals. Specifically, the compander basic model is generalized, which alter the distributed FBMC signal amplitude peak. The proposed companders design approach provides better performance in terms of reducing the PAPR, Bit Error Rate (BER) and phase error degradation over the previously existing compander schemes. Many PAPR reduction approaches, such as the µ-law companding technique, are also available. It results in the formation of spectrum side lobes, although the proposed techniques result in a spectrum with fewer side lobes. The theoretical analysis of linear compander and expander transform for a few specific parameters are derived and analyzed. The suggested linear companding technique is analytically analysed using simulations to show that it efficiently decreases the high peaks in the FBMC system.

Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems use light-emitting diode (LED) technology to provide high-capacity optical links. The advantages they offer, such as the high data rate and the low installation and operational cost, have identified them as a significant solution for modern networks. However, such systems are vulnerable to various exogenous factors, with the background sunlight noise having the greatest impact. In order to reduce the negative influence of the background noise effect, optical filters can be used. In this work, for the first time, a low-cost optical vanadium dioxide (VO2) optical filter has been designed and experimentally implemented based on the requirements of typical and realistic VLC systems in order to significantly increase their performance by reducing the transmittance of background noise. The functionality of the specific filter is investigated by means of its bit error rate (BER) performance estimation, taking into account its experimentally measured characteristics. Numerous results are provided in order to prove the significant performance enhancement of the VLC systems which, as it is shown, reaches almost six orders of magnitude in some cases, using the specific experimental optical filter.

The filter bank multicarrier employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) is a candidate transmission scheme for 5G wireless communication systems. However, it has a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Due to the nature of overlapped signal structure of FBMC/OQAM, conventional PAPR reduction schemes cannot work effectively. A hybrid PAPR reduction scheme based on selective mapping (SLM) and multi data block partial transmit sequence (M-PTS) methods is proposed for FBMC/OQAM signals in this paper. Different from the simple SLM-PTS method, the proposed hybrid algorithm takes into account the overlapping effect of multiple adjacent data blocks on its PTS process. From simulation results, it can be obtained that the proposed method can offer a significant PAPR reduction performance improvement compared with the SLM, PTS and SLM-PTS methods. The proposed method can effectively reduce the PAPR in FBMC/OQAM systems.
