One of the maindisadvantages of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. To reduce PAPR and improve the error performance of the OFDM signal over a fading channel, an OFDM system combining an Adaptive Symbol Selection Scheme (ASSS) and channel estimation can be used. Because of the side information of ASSS, however, the data rate decreases in the conventional ASSS OFDM system. In this letter, to overcome this impairment, we propose a technique to transmit side information by using pilot tones, and demonstrate that the proposed technique can give reasonable bit error rate (BER) performance.

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.

Jacket matrices, motivated by the complex Hadamard matrix, have played important roles in signal processing, communications, image compression, cryptography, etc. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach to design a simple class of space-time block codes (STBCs) to reduce its peak-to-average power ratio. The proposed code provides coding gain due to the characteristics of the complex Hadamard matrix, which is a special case of Jacket matrices. Also, it can achieve full rate and full diversity with the simple decoding. Simulations show the good performance of the proposed codes in terms of symbol error rate. For generality, a kind of quasi-orthogonal STBC may be similarly designed with the improved performance.

In this paper, we propose a pre-distortion method using the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm to cope with hish PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) problem in OFDM communication system. This proposed scheme estimates the distortion characteristics of HPA, and changes the characteristic against the distortion. Therefore, it can be shown that the adaptive characteristic of the NLMS pre-distorter is good to track the various nonlinear characteristic of HPA, even though HPA characteristic is changed by temperature variation or aging. From the performance analysis, SNR efficiency of NLMS pre-distorter is about $0.5\;\cal{dB}$ less than that of common numerical non-adaptive pre-distorter, when IBO(Input Back Off) is $0\;\cal{dB}$. However, the NLMS pre-distorter is better than the common numerical pre-distorter, because these two pre-distorters have similar performance in higher than $3\;\cal{dB}$ IBO, and the NLMS pre-distorter maintains the constant performance even though characteristic of HPA is changed.

The adaptive symbol selection scheme(ASSS) is popular in reducing peak to average power ratio(PAPR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signals. The probability density function(pdf) of the samples' amplitudes of the adaptively selected OFDM signal without over-sampling has been considered to be approximately equal to the Rayleigh pdf. In this paper, we derive a more precise pdf which shows the relationship between the probability distribution of the samples' amplitudes and the number of the candidate symbols for ASSS. Using the newly derived pdf in the theoretical analysis, more accurate calculation results can be obtained.

In this paper, we propose a new subblock division method(SDM) for PAPR reduction in the OFDM communication system. The SDM divides the OFDM symbol into the several subblocks. If the PAPR is high, the some of the data subblocks are replaced by the dummy zero padding blocks. We propose SDM 1 and SDM 2 according to the structure. Even though the transmission efficiency may be partially lowered, the proposed SDM can considerably reduce the computational burden while maintaining similar PAPR reduction performance, compared with the PTS which is known to be the best in the conventional methods.

Many methods have been developed to overcome the PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio) problem. Selective mapping(SLM) partial transmit sequence(PTS), subblock phase weighting(SPW) and gradient descent(GD) are used widely to reduce the PAPR.

Single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is currently being used in long-term evolution uplink communications owing to its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This study proposes a new transceiver design for an SC-FDMA system based on Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT). The proposed WHT-based SC-FDMA system has low-PAPR and better bit-error rate (BER) performance compared with the conventional SC-FDMA system. The WHT-based SC-FDMA transmitter has the same complexity as that of discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based transmitter, while the receiver's complexity is higher than that of the DFT-based receiver. The exponential companding technique is used to reduce its PAPR without degrading its BER. Moreover, the performances of different ordered WHT systems have been studied in additive white Gaussian noise and multipath fading environments. The proposed system has been verified experimentally by considering a real-time channel with the help of wireless open-access research platform hardware. The supremacy of the proposed transceiver is demonstrated based on simulated and experimental results.

Multicarrier direct sequence code-division multiple access CDMA(MC DS-CDMA) is an attractive technique for achieving high data rate transmission even if the potentially large peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) is an important factor for its application. On the other hand, code select CDMA(CS-CDMA) is an attractive technique with constant amplitude transmission of multicode signal irregardless of subchannels by introducing code selection method. In this paper we propose a new multiple access scheme based on the combination of MC DS-CDMA and CS-CDMA. Proposed scheme, which we called MC CS-CDMA, includes the sutclasses of MC DS-CDMA and CS-CDMA as special cases. The performance of this system is investigated for multipath Sequency selective fading channel and maximal ratio combining with rake receiver. In addition the PAPR of proposed system is compare with that of both MC BS-CDMA and CS-CDMA. Simulation results show that proposed system improves PAPR reduction than MC DS-CDMA at the expense of the complexity of receiver and the number of available non. Also, the numerical result shows that the proposed system is better performance than MC DS-CDMA due to the increasing processing gain and the number of time diversity gain.
