Multicarrier modulation technique also known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered to be the most rapidly growing technique for 4th Generation wireless communication system. Due to its high speed data rate and its ability of multipath fading channel robustness. OFDM becomes an attractive technique and it is widely adopted in many wireless communications system. OFDM signal carries its major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Out of band radiation and in band distortion produced due to its high PAPR. Mobile phone communication suffer severe drawback during its amplification. When OFDM employed a non linear Power Amplifier (PA), it produces the fluctuation in amplitude of OFDM signal. This paper discusses the method to overcome PAPR in terms of its performance by using improved clipping technique for PAPR reduction. This method is easy to implement and reduces the amount of PAPR by clipping the peak of the maximum power signal. We present an improved method for PARR reduction for reducing peak magnitude of OFDM signal. This scheme simultaneously minimizes the peak magnitude of PAPR in OFDM signal.

<p>A special form of multicarrier modulation is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) which is offer high spectral efficiency for high speed data transmission through multipath fading channels. Many advantages can be achieved by using OFDM in addition to spectral efficiency like its robustness against intersymbol interference and multipath effect. One of a major drawback of OFDM is high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal which leads to a distortion in the power amplifier and causes decreasing the efficiency of power amplifier. To reduce PAPR of OFDM signal many of promising solutions have been proposed and implemented. In this paper, a joint Low Density Parity Check code (LDPC), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and μ-law companding is proposed to reduce PAPR of OFDM signal at transmitter. Comparison of these PAPR reduction techniques is done based on CCDF performance of the system.</p>

AbstractMulticarrier technique orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation is a solution to provide high-speed and secured data transmission requirement in 4G technologies. Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one major drawback in OFDM system. Researches described several PAPR reduction techniques, notably peak windowing and clipping. The aim of this paper is to use these techniques to reduce PAPR. The research work describes clipping and windowing techniques such as quadratic amplitude modulation (QAM) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) as channel condition. The simulation results show that in those techniques with clipping threshold level of 0.7, there is a reduction of PAPR of 8 dB, and the reduction of PAPR for the peak windowing when considering Kaiser window is about 11 dB.

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) 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.

AbstractA major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is the high value of peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Partial transmit sequences (PTS) is a popular PAPR reduction method with good PAPR reduction performance, but its search complexity is high. In this paper, in order to reduce PTS search complexity we propose a new technique based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO). More specifically, we present a new Generalized Oppositional Biogeography Based Optimization (GOBBO) algorithm which is enhanced with Oppositional Based Learning (OBL) techniques. We apply both the original BBO and the new Generalized Oppositional BBO (GOBBO) to the PTS problem. The GOBBO-PTS method is compared with other PTS schemes for PAPR reduction found in the literature. The simulation results show that GOBBO and BBO are in general highly efficient in producing significant PAPR reduction and reducing the PTS search complexity.

AbstractHigh PAPR poses a large hindrance to high data rate Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals. A companding transform converts the Probability distribution function (PDF) of the transmitted OFDM signal in a way which reduces the Peak-to-average power-ratio (PAPR). In this paper, we have performed the study of companding techniques and analyzes the PAPR and BER performances of these schemes. Here, we have considered μ-law companding, exponential companding, trapezoidal companding (TC) and trigonal companding for comparison. In this paper, we have demonstrated that μ-law companding, exponential companding and trigonal companding schemes have no adaptability in designing the companding function, and along these lines an exchange off between BER performance and PAPR reduction ability is unrealistic to accomplish. However, TC scheme has two parameters (a and b) to design the companding function and hence a trade-off between PAPR reduction capability and BER performance is possible to achieve. BER performance and PAPR reduction capabilities of the scheme under consideration are evaluated and compared through computer simulations. We have also presented an approach to obtain the minimum BER and PAPR of TC and found out the values of design parameters (a and b) for which TC scheme has minimum BER and PAPR.

In highly time-varying fading channel, the Discrete Fourier Transform Spreading Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFTS-OFDM) signal would be damaged significantly by the inter-channel interference (ICI) due to the loss of orthogonality among subcarriers which leads a fatal degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a time domain equalization (TDE) technique in conjunction with a time domain channel impulse response (CIR) estimation method for the DFTS-OFDM signal without using a guard interval (GI). The features of proposed method is to employ a time domain training sequence (TS) both for the estimation of time domain CIR at every sampling time and for removing the inter-symbol interference (ISI) incurred in the multipath fading channel. The proposed method also employs the TDE with a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method in the demodulation of received time domain signal at every symbol instead of using the conventional Minimum Mean Square Error-Frequency Domain Equalization (MMSE-FDE) method. This paper presents various simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed demodulation method for the DFTSOFDM signal without GI as comparing with the conventional MMSE-FDE and TDE methods both of usingGI under highly mobile environments.

High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal is one of the limitations to the transmission performance of optical OFDM system. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid PAPR reduction technique called Hadamard Transform Combined with Partial transmit sequence (HTCP). The proposed HTCP scheme combines the merits of two complementary techniques, i.e., Hadamard transform and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS), to improve the performance of the optical OFDM system in terms of PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER). Simulation results show that the HTCP scheme has better performance with regard to PAPR and BER compared with the case of applying only the Hadamard transform or PTS technique.

The main drawback of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) that is named (OFDM-DCSK) is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). In this paper, clipping and companding techniques are suggested to overcome the PAPR problem in the OFDM-DCSK system. For the clipping technique, the clipping function is applied before transmitting the signal without the need for an inverse function at the receiver side. While for companding techniques, the commanding function is applied at the end of the transmitter side and the corresponding decompanding function is applied at the receiver to recover the original signal. Different companding techniques are investigated including Hyperbolic, A-Law, and Mu-Law companding function that are compared with the Palm clipping technique. The MATLAB simulation result shows that the Mu-Law technique has the best PAPR reduction (7.22 dB) with a good bit error rate (BER) performance when the number of subcarriers is equal to 512.

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.
