Filtered-Orthogonal Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) is one of the capable alternative candidate modulation methods for 5G communication systems. F-OFDM utilizes the allocated spectrum by having lower side-lobes, which leads to higher spectral efficiency. However, it experiences an elevated peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This influences the radio frequency components’ operation mode, such as the power amplifier and the digital-to-analog converter. Also, high PAPR builds the amplifiers to exertion in non-linear regions and enhance the Bit Error Rate (BER). Moreover, Large PAPR guides to spectral spreading and band distortion. Selective Mapping (SLM) provides enhanced PAPR reduction without the data rate loss and also exclusive of the signal distortion. Though, SLM has elevated computational complexity additionally. Numerous procedures have been suggested in the research for OFDM. In this thesis, a modified-SLM using Discrete Sine Transform (DST) is recommended to lessen the PAPR of filtered-OFDM. The idea of a Discrete Sine Transform is de-correlating the data in a sequence by compressed a large amount of signal energy into a few transform coefficients; consequently it provides an improved diminution in PAPR. Furthermore, the BER performance of the system has been enhanced by applying an optimization algorithm called Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This proposed model results illustrate that the proposed Modified Selective mapping using Discrete Sine Transform (MSLM-DST) technique can provide a PAPR reduction of about 4.4 dB. Moreover, the PSO improved the system performance as it significantly reduces the BER of the system.

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.

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.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the key technology used in high-speed communication systems. One of the major drawbacks of OFDM systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. The transmitted signal with a high PAPR requires a very large linear range of the Power Amplifier (PA) on the transmitter side. In this paper, we propose and study a new clipping method named Palm Clipping (Palm date leaf) based on hyperbolic cosine. To evaluate and analyze its performance in terms of the PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER), we performed some computer simulations by varying the Clipping Ratio (CR) and modulation schemes. The obtained results show that it is possible to achieve a gain of between 7 and 9 dB in terms of PAPR reduction depending on the type of modulation. In addition, comparison with several techniques in terms of PAPR and BER shows that our method is a strong alternative that can be adopted as a PAPR reduction technique for OFDM-based communication systems.

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%.

One of the major disadvantages of Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) is high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signal. As a result, nonlinear power amplifier (PA) properties, considerable out-of-band and the in-band distortion types take place in the case where the signals of high peak exceed the PA saturation level. In the present study, a new method of the PAPR reduction is presented and applied to reduce PAPR in FBMC/OQAM system. Different clipping methods have been proposed and studied that are Amplitude Clipping (AC), Palm Clipping (PC), Deep Clipping (DC), and smooth Clipping (SC) for the reduction of PAPR. To evaluate and analyze the performance of PAPR reduction methods, PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER) measures are used and programmed using MATLAB program. The simulation results show that the clipping methods are strong substitute methods which may be assumed as a method of PAPR reduction for the FBMC-based communication systems and AC appears to be the best method.

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.

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.


Most of the wireless standards used these days, heavily rely on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is one of the known key acknowledged confines of OFDM. Reduced PAPR at OFDM transmitter helps power amplifier to operate in stable mode and reduction in complexity of digital to analog converter (DAC). Several PAPR reduction techniques have been evolved from different principles such as signal scrambling techniques, such as Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS), signal distortion techniques such as Clipping, etc. Reducing PAPR degrades bit error rate (BER) or computational complexity. PTS is one of the best methods of PAPR reduction. There is large scope of betterment of PTS to get a best PAPR reduction technique. In this paper we have concentrated on PTS scheme by exploring PTS and its variants evolved over a period of time. We proposed a novel PTS with best performance balancing PAPR and BER performance. Design and development of scheme is done using a graphical programming environment LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) and real time environment validation is done with software defined radio – NIUSRP2922, which is National Instruments Universal Software Radio Peripheral. The paper has three sections in first section, Introduction, the OFDM fundamentals and PAPR are defined in design perspective, in second section conventional and proposed PTS schemes have been explained. The third section consists of result and conclusion

High data rate communication systems usually implement Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to face frequency selectivity. High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is an OFDM disadvantage that causes Bit Error Rate (BER) degradation and out-of-band (OOB) radiation when OFDM signal pass through nonlinear Power Amplifier (PA). In order to overcome this problem larger Input Back-Off (IBO) is required. However, large IBO decreases the PA efficiency. PAPR reduction techniques are used to reduce the required IBO, so that PA efficiency is saved. Several PAPR reduction methods are introduced in literature, among them Tone Reservation based on Null Subcarriers (TRNS) is downward compatible version of Tone Reservation (TR) with small excess in the average power and low computational complexity compared to others. As will be shown, TRNS is the best practical one of the four downward compatible techniques. Performance of TRNS is controlled by three parameters; number of peak reduction tones (PRTs), predefined threshold (Amax), and number of iterations (Itr). In order to increase PAPR reduction gain, enhance BER performance, and reduce the required IBO to follow the given power spectral density (PSD), we have to choose the values of these parameters adequately. Results showed that, we have to reduce the threshold value to the average (i.e. Amax =0 dB). Also, we have to increase number of PRTs. However, we have to maintain the spectrum shape. Finally, we have to choose moderate number of iterations (e.g. Itr ≈50), as excessive increase in number of iterations is not useful, especially at high PAPR values.

Universal filtered multi-carrier (UFMC) is a potential multi-carrier system for future cellular networks. UFMC provides low latency, frequency offset robustness, and reduced out-of-band (OOB) emission that results in better spectral efficiency. However, UFMC suffers from the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which might impact the function of high power amplifiers causing a nonlinear distortion. We propose a comparative probabilistic PAPR reduction technique, called the decomposed selective mapping approach, to alleviate PAPR in UFMC systems. The concept of this proposal depends on decomposing the complex symbol into real and imaginary parts, and then converting each part to a number of different phase vectors prior to the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) operation. The IFFT copy, which introduces the lowest PAPR, is considered for transmission. Results obtained using theoretical analysis and simulations show that the proposed approach can significantly enhance the performance of the UFMC system in terms of PAPR reduction. Besides, it maintains the OOB emission with candidate bit error rate and error vector magnitude performances.
