A Low-BER Clipping Scheme for PAPR Reduction in STBC MIMO-OFDM Systems

Clipping is a simple scheme to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Further, it can be extended to space-time block coding (STBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM systems for the PAPR reduction. In the conventional clipping schemes for STBC MIMO-OFDM systems, the input symbols are first encoded and then clipped. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed, where the clipping operation is performed before space-time block coding. We theoretically prove that the proposed scheme has better bit-error rate (BER) performance while maintaining the same PAPR reduction as the conventional schemes. Additionally, we derive the symbol-error rate (SER) and BER expressions for the new scheme over multipath fading channels. The simulation results show a good match with our analysis.     

PAPR Reduction for Repetition Space-Time-Frequency Coded MIMO-OFDM Systems Using Chu Sequences

Space-time/frequency coding (SFC) can achieve the spatial and multipath diversities for a MIMO-OFDM system by coding across subcarriers, multiple antennas, and/or multiple OFDM sysmbols, where an interesting method to achieve the multipath diversity is repeating across subcarriers proposed by Su et al. While most of the existing space-time/frequency codes do not have the fast ML decoding, a family of space-time-frequency codes with single-symbol ML decoding have been proposed lately by Zhang et al to achieve both full spatial and multipath diversities by using orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) across multiple antennas and OFDM symbols and in the meantime repeating across the subcarriers. In this paper, we first generalize the above OSTBC to linearly transformed quasi OSTBC (QOSTBC) in a straightforward way. The main goal of this paper is to modify the repeating process and adjust their phases so that the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM system is reduced. In particular, we propose to use Chu sequences and show that the discrete PAPR can be reduced by Gamma times where Gamma is the times of the repeating across subcarriers for any SFC from the repeating.

PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems: Polynomial-Based Compressing and Iterative Expanding

In this paper a companding-based scheme is proposed to reduce the Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system. At the transmitter side, a compressing polynomial function is appended to the inverse discrete Fourier transform block; and at the receiver the transmitted signal is retrieved iteratively through combining the discrete Fourier transform block with a reverse expanding function. In the iterative algorithm the Jacobi’s method is used for solving the equations. Also, the general form of the compressing polynomial functions is attained through the use of Daubechies wavelet functions. As an advantage, the proposed method involves less complexity at the transmitter compared to other PAPR reduction methods. Furthermore, it requires less increasing to signal-to-noise ratio for the same bit error rate in comparison with other companding methods. The order of compressing polynomial and the number of iterations for the proposed algorithm at the receiver can be set in accordance with the performance-complexity trade off.

PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems Based on Autoregressive Filtering

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has a very high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that causes a severe nonlinear distortion in practical hardware implementation of high power amplifiers (HPA). In this article, a new PAPR reduction method is proposed based on autoregressive (AR) error filtering. This method proposes the use of signal whitening property of error filtering as a preprocessing step to remove the predictable content of stationary stochastic processes which can reduce the autocorrelation of input data sequences and is shown to be a very effective solution for the PAPR problem in OFDM systems. It is shown that the proposed method can achieve a significant reduction in PAPR without degrading the error performance or power spectral levels. It is also shown that the proposed method is applicable to any modulation scheme and can work for any number of subcarriers under both additive white Gaussian noise and wireless Rayleigh fading channel.

Simple Amplitude and Phase Predistortion for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

One of the drawbacks in an OFDM system is the high peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR). Among a number of techniques to reduce the high PAPR, simple amplitude predistortion (SAP), a form of active constellation extension, has been proposed to effectively achieve the desired PAPR. In this letter, a novel scheme, simple amplitude and phase predistortion (SAPP), is proposed. In SAP the carriers' amplitude is utilized to combat the peak signal. Each amplitude is amplified according to its degree of contribution as a metric. In addition to amplitude, SAPP also utilizes the phase. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme provides better PAPR reduction than SAP.     

VLM Precoded SLM Technique for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is perhaps the most spectrally efficient, robust transmission technique discovered so far for communication systems, and it also mitigates the problem of multipath environment. High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) has always been a major drawback of the OFDM systems. In this article, a new precoding technique has been proposed based on Vandermonde-like matrix (VLM) and selective mapping (SLM) to reduce PAPR in OFDM systems. VLM precoding reduces the autocorrelation of the input sequences while SLM takes an advantage of the fact that the PAPR is very sensitive to phase shifts of the signal. The main advantage of this proposed scheme is to achieve a significant reduction in PAPR without increasing the system complexity. Computer simulations show that, the proposed method outperforms the existing precoding techniques without degrading the error performance of the system.

Upper-Lower Bounded-Complexity QRD-M for Spatial Multiplexing MIMO-OFDM Systems

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology applied with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as the ultimate solution to increase channel capacity without any additional spectral resources. At the receiver side, the challenge resides in designing low complexity detection algorithms capable of separating independent streams sent simultaneously from different antennas. In this paper, we introduce an upper-lower bounded-complexity QRD-M algorithm (ULBC QRD-M). In the proposed algorithm we solve the problem of high extreme complexity of the conventional sphere decoding by fixing the upper bound complexity to that of the conventional QRD-M. On the other hand, ULBC QRD-M intelligently cancels all unnecessary hypotheses to achieve very low computational requirements. Analyses and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the performance of conventional QRD-M with only 26% of the required computations.
