Multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is widely applied in wireless communication by virtue of its excellent properties in data transmission rate and transmission accuracy. However, as a major drawback of MIMO-OFDM systems, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) complicates the design of the power amplifier at the receiver end. Some available PAPR reduction methods such as selective mapping (SLM) suffer from high computational complexity. In this paper, a low-complexity SLM method based on active constellation extension (ACE) and joint space-time selective mapping (AST-SLM) for reducing PAPR in Alamouti STBC MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed. In SLM scheme, two IFFT operations are required for obtaining each transmission sequence pair, and the selected phase vector is transmitted as side information(SI). However, in the proposed AST-SLM method, only a few IFFT operations are required for generating all the transmission sequence pairs. The complexity of AST-SLM is at least 86% less than SLM. In addition, the SI needed in AST-SLM is at least 92.1% less than SLM by using the presented blind detection scheme to estimate SI. We show, analytically and with simulations, that AST-SLM can achieve significant performance of PAPR reduction and close performance of bit error rate (BER) compared to SLM scheme.

본 논문은 직교 주파수 분할 다중 반송파(OFDM) 시스템의 최대 전력 대 평균 전력 비율(PAPR; peak to average-power ratio)을 감소하기 위한 톤 예약 기법(TR: tone reservation)에서 PRT(peak reduction tone) 집합을 선택하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 최적의 PRT 집합을 찾는 것은 NP-hard 문제로 알려져 있으며, 기존에는 무작위로 PRT 집합을 생성하여 사용하였다. 무작위로 생성한 PRT 집합의 PAPR 감소 성능은 연속적인 PRT 집합과 인터리브드 PRT 집합보다 좋다. 본 논문은 먼저 PRT 집합의 특성 시퀸스를 역푸리어 변환하여 얻은 신호의 분산과 이차 첨두치(secondary peak)와의 관계를 보이고 이로부터 준 최적의 PRT 집합을 효과적으로 생성하는 방법을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 다중 케리 어(multi carrier) 변조에 의해 크게 발생되는 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio)을 저감하기 위한 방법으로 WHT(Walsh Hadamard Transform)를 이용한 PAPR 저감 기법들을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기본적으로 WHT를 기존의 PAPR 저감 기법들과 혼합하여 추가적인 대역 손실 및 큰 복잡도의 증가 없이 추가적인 PAPR저감 성능을 나타내도록 하는 방법으로, 본 논문에서는 SLM(Selective Mapping) 및 DSI(Dummy Sequence Insertion) 방법을 WHT와 결합한 방법을 제시하며, 시뮬레이션 결과로부터, WHT를 이용한 PAPR 저감 기법들이 기존의 PAPR 저감 기법보다 항상 약 1 dB 가량의 더 나은 PAPR 저감 효과를 나타냄을 확인하였다. 또한 제안된 방법은 PAPR저감뿐만 아니라 주파수 다이버시티(diversity) 효과를 얻을 수 있기 때문에 비선형 증폭기에 의한 비선형 왜곡뿐만 아니라 다중 경로 페이딩(multipath lading)이 심하게 일어나는 무선 채널 환경에서 보다 안정된 데이터 전송을 가능케 할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 PAPR 저감 기법인 SPW(Sub-block Phase Weighting) 기법에서 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)이 저감되도록 조절한 부가 정보를 처리하는 방법을 제안한다. SPW기법은 입력 데이터를 여러 개의 서브블록으로 나누고 위상 회전 벡터를 곱해주는 것으로 피크 전력을 줄여준다. SPW 기법은 부반송파 수와 변조방식, 서브 블록의 수가 PTS 기법과 같을 때 서로 유사한 점을 지니고 있지만, 오직 한 개의 IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform)를 사용한다는 점에서 기존의 PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence)나 SLM(Selected Mapping) 기법과는 다르다. SPW기법은 비록 PAPR을 효율적으로 줄일 수 있지만 계산 복잡도 문제는 여전히 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 위상 조절을 위 한 방법으로서 flipping 알고리즘과 full iteration 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안 방식의 특성을 분석하고 성능을 검토하였다.

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.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)은 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio) 문제를 가지고 있다. 이런 PAPR 문제를 해결하는 CI/OFDM(carrier interferometry OFDM) 시스템 등이 제시되었으나, 이것은 위상 잡음이 존재할 경우 CI 위상 오프셋 불일치로 인해 ICI(inter channel interference) 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 낮은 PAPR을 유지하면서 ICI를 저감하기 위한 A-CI/OFDM(advanced-CI/OFDM)을 제안한다. 이 방식은 CI 확산 과정에서 CI 위상 코드들이 조밀하게 갖는 위상 옵셋에 마진을 줌으로써 국부 발진기에서 발생하는 위상 잡음에 대한 성능 저하를 감소시키면서, 낮은 PAPR을 유지한다. 위상 잡음에 대한 영향을 줄이기 위해 제안된 방식은 종전의 CI/OFDM보다 PAPR 성능 면에서 손실이 발생하는데, 이를 방지하기 위하여 PAPR 저감 방법 중 PTS를 이 시스템에 적용한다. 그러므로 제안한 방식은 기존의 CI/OFDM 시스템보다 위상 잡음의 영향을 저감하고 PAPR 측면에서도 이득이 있어 전체적인 BER 성능을 향상 시킨다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 일반 OFDM과 CI/OFDM, A-CI/OFDM 시스템의 성능을 비교한다.

Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main imperfections in the broadband communication systems with multiple carriers. In this paper, a new crest factor reduction (CFR) scheme based on interleaved phase sequence called Dummy Sequence Insertion Enhanced Partial Transmit Sequence (DSI-EPTS) is proposed which effectively reduces the PAPR while at the same time keeps the total complexity low. Moreover, the prototype of the proposed scheme in field programmable gate array (FPGA) is demonstrated. In DSI-EPTS scheme, a new matrix of phase sequence is defined which leads to a significant reduction in hardware complexity due to its less searching operation to extract the optimum phase sequence. The obtained results show comparable performance with slight difference due to the FPGA constraints. The results show 5 dB reduction in PAPR by applying the DSI-EPTS scheme with low complexity and low power consumption.

Noncontiguous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM)-based cognitive radio (CR) systems achieve highly efficient spectrum utilization by transmitting unlicensed users' data on subcarriers of licensed users' data when they are free. However, there are two disadvantages to the NC-OFDM system: out-of-band power (OBP) and a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). OBP arises due to side lobes of an NC-OFDM signal in the frequency domain, and it interferes with the spectrum for unlicensed users. A high PAPR occurs due to the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) block used in an NC-OFDM system, and it induces nonlinear effects in power amplifiers. In this study, we propose an algorithm called "Alternative Projections onto Convex and Non-Convex Sets" that reduces the OBP and PAPR simultaneously. The alternate projections are performed onto these sets to form an iteration, and it converges to the specified limits of in-band-power, peak amplitude, and OBP. Furthermore, simulations show that the bit error rate performance is not degraded while reducing OBP and PAPR.

Peak power reduction techniques in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been an important subject for many researchers for over 20 years. In this letter, we propose a side-information-free technique that is based on the concept of random variable (RV) transformation. The suggested method transforms RVs into other RVs, aiming to reshape the constellation that will consequently produce OFDM symbols with a reduced peak-to-average power ratio. The proposed method has no limitation on the mapping type or the mapping order and has no significant effect on the bit error rate performance compared to other methods presented in the literature. Additionally, the computational complexity does not increase.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been the overwhelmingly prevalent choice for high-data-rate systems due to its superior advantages compared with other modulation techniques. In contrast, a high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) is considered the fundamental obstacle in OFDM systems since it drives the system to suffer from in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation. The partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique is viewed as one of several strategies that have been suggested to diminish the high PAPR trend. The PTS relies upon dividing an input data sequence into a number of subblocks. Hence, three common types of the subblock segmentation methods have been adopted - interleaving (IL-PTS), adjacent (Ad-PTS), and pseudorandom (PR-PTS). In this study, a new type of subblock division scheme is proposed to improve the PAPR reduction capacity with a low computational complexity. The results indicate that the proposed scheme can enhance the PAPR reduction performance better than the IL-PTS and Ad-PTS schemes. Additionally, the computational complexity of the proposed scheme is lower than that of the PR-PTS and Ad-PTS schemes.
