The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme used for the transfer of multimedia data. Well-known systems like ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) internet, wireless local area networks (LANs), long-term evolution (LTE), and 5G technologies use OFDM. The major limitation of OFDM is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). High PAPR lowers the power efficiency, thus impeding the implementation of OFDM. The PAPR problem is more significant in an uplink. A high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) occurs due to large envelope fluctuations in OFDM signal and requires a highly linear high-power amplifier (HPA). Power amplifiers with a large linear range are expensive, bulky, and difficult to manufacture. In order to reduce the PAPR, a hybrid technique is proposed in this chapter with repeated clipping and filtering (RCF) and precoding techniques. The proposed method is improving the PAPR as well as BER. Five types of pre-coding techniques are used and then compared with each other.

Teknologi Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) telah banyak diimplementasikan dalam komunikasi digital berkecepatan tinggi seperti Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), dan Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). Salah satu kelemahan dari sistem OFDM adalah tingginya nilai Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) yang menyebabkan terjadinya distorsi non linier pada High Power Amplifier (HPA). Akibatnya, terjadi penurunan efisiensi spektrum. Teknik reduksi PAPR yang digunakan pada karya tulis ini adalah teknik Selected Mapping (SLM) dan SLM Riemann. Hasil simulasi digambarkan dengan kurva Cumulative Complementary Distribution Function (CCDF) dan kurva efisiensi spektrum. Parameter yang digunakan yaitu jumlah subblok dan jumlah subcarrier. Pada penelitian ini, teknik SLM menghasilkan nilai PAPR sebesar 8.912 dB sedangkan teknik SLM Riemann menghasilkan nilai PAPR sebesar 9.099 dB. Sehingga teknik SLM dapat mereduksi nilai PAPR lebih baik dibandingkan dengan teknik SLM Riemann. Perbedaan jumlah subblok juga mempengaruhi kinerja teknik reduksi, teknik SLM dengan subblok 8 menghasilkan kinerja 0.5 dB lebih baik dibandingkan subblok 4. Sehingga kinerja akan semakin baik apabila jumlah subblok yang digunakan semakin banyak. Kemudian semakin banyak jumlah subcarrier maka nilai PAPR yang dihasilkan akan semakin besar. Selanjutnya, efisiensi spektrum meningkat seiring bertambahnya daya transmit. Teknik reduksi SLM dan SLM Riemann mampu meningkatkan daya transmit yang juga menyebabkan meningkatnya efisiensi spektrum. Penggunaan jumlah subblok yang lebih banyak akan meningkatkan efisiensi spektrum. Teknik SLM dengan subblok 4 menghasilkan efisiensi spektrum sebesar 0.425 bit/s/Hz dan subblok 8 menghasilkan efisiensi spektrum sebesar 0.444 bit/s/Hz. Teknik reduksi SLM memberikan hasil efisiensi spektrum yang lebih baik dari teknik reduksi SLM Riemann.

Several high-speed wireless systems use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) due to its advantages. 5G has adopted OFDM and is expected to be considered beyond 5G (B5G). Meanwhile, OFDM has a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Hybridization between two PAPR reduction techniques gains the two techniques’ advantages. Hybrid precoding-companding techniques are attractive as they require small computational complexity to achieve high PAPR reduction gain. Many precoding-companding techniques were introduced to increasing the PAPR reduction gain. However, reducing Bit Error Rate (BER) and out-of-band (OOB) radiation are more significant than increasing PAPR reduction gain. This paper proposes a new precoding-companding technique to better reduce the BER and OOB radiation than previous precoding-companding techniques. Results showed that the proposed technique outperforms all previous precoding-companding techniques in BER enhancement and OOB radiation reduction. The proposed technique reduces the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) by 15 dB compared with 10 dB for the best previous technique. Additionally, the proposed technique increases high power amplifier efficiency (HPA) by 11.4%, while the best previous technique increased HPA efficiency by 9.8%. Moreover, our proposal achieves PAPR reduction gain better than the most known powerful PAPR reduction technique with a 99% reduction in required computational complexity.

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.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) usually suffers high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). As shown in this paper, PAPR becomes even severe for sparse source due to many identical nonzero frequency OFDM symbols. Thus, this paper introduces compressive coded modulation (CCM) in order to restrain PAPR by reducing identical nonzero frequency symbols for sparse source. As a result, the proposed CCM-based OFDM system, together with iterative clipping and filtering, can efficiently restrain the high PAPR for sparse source. Simulation results show that it outperforms about 4 dB over the traditional OFDM system when source sparsity is 0.1.

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main disadvantages for OFDM signals, which will always result in low power efficiency of power amplifier. The peak cancellation method is a powerful PAPR reduction technique. In this paper, the advanced peak cancellation implement method (APC) is proposed for OFDM signals. Extensive simulations demonstrate that in comparison with the conversational peak cancellation implement method, the APC is more suitable for OFDM signals due to less iteration and comparative performance.

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) 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.


Indoor visible light communication (VLC) has the potential of providing high data rates for short-range wireless communication with a relative spatial elevated security in contrast to a radiofrequency wireless one. To support that high data stream, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used; however, due to the limited operational bandwidth of the commercial white light-emitting diode (LED), signal processing techniques are used to increase the efficiency of the OFDM and to adapt OFDM to VLC systems. As a major concern, the intensity modulation direct detection necessary for VLC requires positive real signal, this is dealt with by imposing Hermitian pre-possessing or Cartesian to polar conversion post-processing to the OFDM. The use of the Cartesian to polar converter allows the transmission of complex OFDM symbols through the intensity modulation channel. A polar transform optical (PTO-) OFDM presented here as an improvement and simplification of previous polar optical OFDM schemes gives an efficient transceiver architecture. Nevertheless, both OFDM transmission techniques for Visible optical links, similar to radiofrequency (RF), suffer greatly from irregular excessive Peak-to-Average power ratio (PAPR). Higher PAPR reduces the power efficiency of the On-Off Keying (OOK) based on pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Furthermore, it also is recommendable to reduce the PAPR for conformity with eye safety. A precoding technique is proposed to reduce the PAPR of intensity-modulated for direct detectability of the OFDM signal destined for the wireless optical link using Cartesian-to-Polar conversion. Based on the enhanced processing at the front ends and using MATLAB simulation, it is proven that the presented model can improve the link parameters including the bit error rate (BER) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) and bandwidth efficient compared to Hermitian modified ones.

In last few decades the demand for multimedia data services has grown up fastly. One of the most promising multicarrier system, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) allow large number of capacity the number of subcarriers, high data rates and ubiquitous coverage with high mobility. But OFDM is extensively affected by peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Unfortunately, the high PAPR inherent to OFDM signal envelopes will frequently drive high power amplifiers (HPAs) which are operate in the nonlinear region. The nonlinearity of the High Power Amplifier exhibits phase and amplitude distortions, which causes loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers; also (ICI) is introduced in the source signal. This dissertation is basically focused on PAPR reduction in OFDM system and measuring BER in different Modulation Technique. In PAPR reduction Signal companding methods have low complication, high distortion and spectral properties; however, we have limited PAPR reduction capabilities. Partial transmit sequences (PTS) and selected mapping (SLM), have also been considered for PAPR reduction. Such kind of techniques are very efficient and distortion less, Also the SLM is very good technique to the PAPR problem in single carrier system. This method has low complexity as well as it is data independent. In this paper, we are describing a combine technique of SLM and PTS to minimize the PAPR. In PTS scheme, number of sub blocks increases; the IFFT block to be performed for sub blocks also increases. Simulation results have shown that the reductions of PAPR of proposed scheme is more than PTS and SLM methods as well as the difficulty reduced considerably.
