Partial transmit sequence(PTS) scheme has been widely studied to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) of Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OFDM) signal since it is flexible ad any spectral regrowth is not made. A necessity of the PTS scheme is to transmit the side information about the phase rotation factors for correct OFDM symbol recovery. In this paper, a new side information embedded PTS scheme using the reference symbols is proposed fur the PAPR reduction and the BER(bit error rate) performance is analyzed when the erroneous side information is received. In this proposed method, the information about the rotation factors is expressed by the phase of reference symbols. The proposed method maintains the same PAPR reduction performance as the conventional PTS scheme and OFDM symbols are correctly recovered by the side information to meet the required BER level, which is verified via the computer simulation. Also, it is shown that the proposed method can be easily realized and can be used for all kinds of digital modulation formats in the OFDM communication system.

In this paper, we present a new method for the reduction of the PAPR (peak to average power ratio) of OFDM signals. The idea behind the proposed method is that IFFT is implemented often with software for a digital signal processor such that we may avoid the repeated calculations to reduce the computational operations: we define sub-sequences in the IFFT process and then multiply the optimum phase rotation factors to them to minimize the PAPR. The PAPR reduction performance of the proposed method is equal to that of the interleaved partition scheme of the PTS (partial transmit sequence) method with only 1/3 computational operations of it.

Tn this paper, we evaluate the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) performance in a space-time block code (STBC) multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system using selected mapping (SLM) and partial transmit sequences (PTS) approaches. SLM and PTS methods are used to decrease the nonlinear distortion and to improve the power efficiency of the nonlinear high power amplifier(HPA) in the MIMO-OFDM system. In simulation result, when compared with the existing MIMO-OFDM system using QPSK, the PTS method reduces the PAPR about 5dB while the SLM method can reduce about 3.5 dB. Also, we find the BER performance of the MIMO-OFDM system with and without the predistorter in front of the HPA. When the predistorter is used, the input back-off (IBO) of 4 dB is required in the PTS method, and IBO of 6 dB in the SLM method to closely conform to the linear amplifier. If the method of improving the PAPR is not used, the value of IBO of 8 dB is required.

OFDM should be used for the fourth generation communication for high speed communication. Because of high spectral efficiency and high tolerance to fading channel, OFDM is applied to many high speed wire and wireless communication such as DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), DVB(Digital Video Broadcast), IMT 2000 etc. Inter-modulation, however, is derived from PAR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) of OFDM signals. The paper describes PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence) and SLM(Select Mapping) of an existing methods which can reduce PAR. And then this papers proposed the new method that is called "Combine method". The method proposed in this paper is to combine PTS and SLM. As a result of the simulation, Combine PAR method is better than the existing methods.

Multicarrier systems has major shortcomings due to the large numbers of subcarrier. One of the shortcomings is the high peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR), which causes nonlinearity distortion in the transmitter, and degrades the performance of the system significantly. Partial transmit sequence(PTS) is one of the best approaches that can significantly improve the statistics of the PAPR of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signal. Guided scrambling(GS) is an extension of self-synchronizing scrambling. It is also capable of guiding the scrambling process to produce a balanced encoded bit stream. In this paper, we propose a sub-optimal algorithm to optimize the phase factor in PTS. In addition, we integrate GS coding with this method. The proposed Hybrid algorithm can get much more PAPR reduction at the expense of incur a few error extension and do not require transmission of side information.

육상이동위성 채널에서 고속 광대역의 정보를 효율적으로 전송하기 위한 최적 방안으로 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) M-ary PSK를 들 수 있다. 그러나 가입자 단말기 또는 위성중계기의 송신단 고출력 증폭기(HPA : High Power Amplifier)를 전력효율적인 비선형 mode에서 동작할 때, OFDM M-ary PSK 시스템의 최대 전력 대 평균전력의 비(PAPR : Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)가 부바송파 개수만큼 선형적으로 커져 단일 반송파 변조방식에 비해 비선형 왜곡에 의한 성능 열화가 심각하다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 성능 열화를 개선하기 위하여 전송채널에서 대역효율과 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능이 우수한 PC(Parallel Combinatory) OFDM 방식과 개선된 PAPR을 가지는 PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence) OFDM 방식을 결합한 Combined PC & PTS OFDM 방식을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석하였다.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) 시스템은 높은 peak-to-average power ratio(PAR) 문제를 가진다. 일반적으로, partial transmit sequence(PTS) 기법을 이용하여 최적의 PAR 감소 성능을 얻기 위해서는 나눈 부블록의 수와 위상 요소 (rotation factor)에 관한 모든 탐색을 해야 한다. 나눈 부블록 수와 factor 수가 많을수록 PAR 감소 성능은 그 만큼 증가하지만, 그에 비례하여 복잡성과 계산량 또한 지수적으로 증가하여 송신기에서의 시간지연과 전력소비를 초래한다. 따라서, PAR 감소 성능을 낮추면서 복잡성 또한 줄일 수 있는 방법이 요구된다. 하지만, 성능과 계산의 복잡성 사이에는 트레이드오프가 존재하여, 두가지를 동시에 줄이는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는, 성능과 복잡성 사이의 최적의 트레이드오프에 대해 분석하고, 제안한 PTS 기법의 성능을 기존의 복잡한 PTS 기법과 비교한다.

Partial transmit sequence (PTS) algorithm is known as one of the most efficient ways to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The PTS algorithm, however, requires large numbers of computation to implement. Thus there has been a trade-off between performance of PAPR reduction and computational complexity. In this paper, the performance of PAPR reduction and computation complexity of PTS algorithms are analyzed and compared through computer simulations. Subsequently, a new PTS algorithm is proposed which can be a reasonable method to reduce the PAPR of OFDM when both the performance of PAPR reduction and computational complexity are considered simultaneously.
