Multiple-input multiple-output technology together with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is an effective technique to combat multi-channel fading and to improve bandwidth efficiency. Simultaneously, it also increases the system's ability to provide reliable transmission. However, the main disadvantage of OFDM is the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR), which, if not mitigated, will negatively impact practical applications. The high PAPR increases complexity and Bit Error Rate. In this research, the authors investigate the factors influencing the PAPR performance of both OFDM and MIMO-OFDM systems. The objective of this research is to make researchers in this field become familiar with this problem as well as to impart an understanding of the factors that influence PAPR. In this study, the authors classify the factors that impact PAPR into modulation schemes and a number of sub-carriers. These parameters influence the PAPR performance have been analyzed and simulated by using MATLAB. It is observed that the numbers of sub-carriers have a great effect on the PAPR performance. However, modulation schemes can have a small effect on PAPR performance.

In wireless communication system, the emerging technology is MU-Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MU-MIMO-OFDM). For minimizing Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in the uplink transmission scheme, OFDM is exploited in MIMO system and compared with Single Carrier-Frequency Domain Processing (SC-FDP). Further reducing the PAPR value, a new method is proposed Hybrid Block Inf Diagonalization (HBID) technique for an uplink OFDM system and calculated the less Bit Error Rate (BER). In this paper, the HBID precoding technique reduces PAPR with such amount and unwanted amplitude of the signal is to be cut down for a specific threshold value as 1.4 for best performance so that the PAPR value is reduced in considerable rate of OFDM then compared to SC-FDP system. Also, we compared the various precoding techniques with HBID method in MIMO-OFDM systems with various parameters such as BER, PAPR, Number of users, Sum rate. Finally, the proposed method reduces PAPR with 47% and BER with 50%, number of users with 49% and sum rate as 57%. HBID based precoding method shows its excellence with the lowest PAPR value and thereby enhance the presentation of the OFDM system

Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) is a key technology for contemporary communication systems due to its spectral efficiency, higher data rates, better diversity gain, good link reliability and both inter symbol interference (ISI) and multipath fading free transmission. However, due to the presence of OFDM, MIMO-OFDM suffers from high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Even though, several schemes are available to mitigate PAPR, there is no standard solution. Selective Mapping (SLM) significantly reduces the PAPR in OFDM systems at the cost of computational complexity (CC). The CC of SLM can be reduced by proper design of SLM. This paper considers a low complexity SLM (LC SLM) scheme in which both the CC and length of the index of selected phase sequence are significantly reduced. The PAPR of an SLM-OFDM depends on the number of subcarriers in OFDM, the number of candidate blocks in SLM and selected phase sequence and this paper investigate various phase sequences and analyses their PAPR performance. Simulation results show the superior performance of Riemann sequence over the other phase sequences.

The transceiver combination technology, of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), provides a viable alternative to enhance the quality of service and simultaneously to achieve high spectral efficiency and data rate for wireless mobile communication systems. However, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is the main concern that should be taken into consideration in the MIMO-OFDM system. Partial transmit sequences (PTSs) is a promising scheme and straightforward method, able to achieve an effective PAPR reduction performance, but it requires an exhaustive search to find the optimum phase factors, which causes high computational complexity increased with the number of subblocks. In this paper, a reduced computational complexity PTS scheme is proposed, based on a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, called fireworks algorithm (FWA). Simulation results confirmed the adequacy and the effectiveness of the proposed method which can effectively reduce the computation complexity while keeping good PAPR reduction. Moreover, it turns out from the results that the proposed PTS scheme-based FWA clearly outperforms the hottest and most important evolutionary algorithm in the literature like simulated annealing (SA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and genetic algorithm (GA).

Abstract Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based massive multiuser (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is popularly known as high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) issue. The OFDM-based massive MIMO system exhibits large number of antennas at Base Station (BS) due to the use of large number of high-power amplifiers (HPA). High PAPR causes HPAs to work in a nonlinear region, and hardware cost of nonlinear HPAs are very high and also power inefficient. Hence, to tackle this problem, this manuscript suggests a novel scheme based on the joint MU precoding and PAPR minimization (PP) expressed as a convex optimization problem solved by steepest gradient descent (GD) with μ-law companding approach. Therefore, we develop a new scheme mentioned to as MU-PP-GDs with μ-law companding to minimize PAPR by compressing and enlarging of massive MIMO OFDM signals simultaneously. At CCDF = 10−3, the proposed scheme (MU-PP-GDs with μ-law companding for Iterations = 100) minimizes the PAPR to 3.70 dB which is better than that of MU-PP-GDs, (iteration = 100) as shown in simulation results.

Any carrier frequency offset will cause a loss of subcarrier orthogonality which results in ICI and hence performance degrades severely in MIMO-OFDM systems. In this paper, a time and frequency synchronization solution for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. The synchronization is achieved using one Constant Amplitude Zero Auto Correlation (CAZAC) sequence-based preamble which is simultaneously transmitted from all transmit antennas in the same OFDM time instant. The synchronization is accomplished sequentially by coarse time synchronization, fractional frequency offset estimation, integral frequency offset estimation and fine time synchronization. The simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can estimate the timing and frequency offsets efficiently in MIMO-OFDM systems, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio condition.

The partial transmit sequences (PTS) is regarded as a promising scheme for inhibiting ‎the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem in the orthogonal frequency division ‎multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The PTS scheme relies on partitioning the ‎data sequence into subsets and weighting these subsets by a group of the phase rotation ‎factors. Although the PTS can efficiently reduce the high PAPR value, a great ‎computational complexity (CC) level restricts the utilization of the PTS scheme in practical ‎applications. In PTS, there are three common types of segmentation schemes; ‎interleaving (IL-PTS), pseudo-random (PR-PTS), and adjacent (Ad-PTS) schemes. This ‎paper presents a new algorithm named hybrid pseudo-random and interleaving cosine wave shape ‎‎(H-PRC-PTS) by combining the PR-PTS scheme and the symmetrical ‎interleaving cosine wave shape (S-IL-C-PTS) scheme which was proposed in our previous ‎work. The results indicate that the suggested algorithms can ‎diminish the PAPR value like the PR-PTS scheme, whereas the CC level is reduced significantly.

The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is one favored solution in wireless communication systems for enhancing data rate. However, the computational complexity is also linear increased with the number of data streams. Generally, multiple finite impulse response (FIR) interpolations and decimations are added to solve the multiple data streams in a MIMO OFDM system, which cause a large increase in the hardware cost. In this paper, two multipath pipelined polyphase structures for FIR interpolation and decimation to efficiently deal with the simultaneous multiple data streams are proposed. According to the proposed structures, M simultaneous data streams can be supported in the M-component polyphase interpolation or decimation with only one set of computation units. Implementation examples show that up to 56% reduction of silicon area can be obtained over the traditional polyphase structures.


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.

The effects of oscillator phase noises (PNs) on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are studied. It is shown that PNs of common oscillators at the transmitter and at the receiver have the same influence on the performance of (single-stream) beamforming MIMO-OFDM systems, yet different influences on spatial multiplexing MIMO-OFDM systems with singular value decomposition (SVD) based precoding/decoding. When each antenna is equipped with an independent oscillator, the PNs at the transmitter and at the receiver have different influences on beamforming MIMO-OFDM systems as well as spatial multiplexing MIMO-OFDM systems. Specifically, the PN effect on the transmitter (receiver) can be alleviated by having more transmit (receive) antennas for the case of independent oscillators. It is found that the independent oscillator case outperforms the common oscillator case in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM).

Carrier Interferometry Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CI-COFDM) system has been widely studied in multi-carrier communication system. The CI-COFDM system spreads each coded information symbol across all N sub-carriers using orthogonal CI spreading codes. The CI-COFDM system shows the advantages of Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction, frequency diversity and coding gain without any loss of communication throughput. On the other side, a great attention has been devoted to Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) antenna systems and space-time-frequency processing. In this paper, we focus on two Transmit (Tx)/one Receive (Rx) antennas configuration and evaluate the performance of MIMO OFDM, MIMO CIOFDM and MIMO CI-COFDM systems. Space Frequency Block Coding (SFBC) is applied to MIMO OFDM, MIMO CI-ODFM and MIMO CI-COFDM systems. For CI-COFDM realization, digital implemented CI-COFDM is used in which information conventional is encoded, CI code spreading operation and carrier allocation are processed by IFFT type operation. From simulation results, it is shown that MIMO SFBC CI-COFDM reduces PAPR significantly as compared with that of MIMO SFBC CI-OFDM and MIMO SFBC OFDM systems. In Narrow Band Interference (NBI) channel MIMO SFBC CI-COFDM systems achieve considerable Bit Error Rate (BER) improvement compared with MMO SFBC CI-OFDM and MIMO SFBC OFDM system.
