Reduction of PAPR of OFDM Signals Using Nonlinear Companding Transform

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel nonlinear companding transform (NCT) scheme for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The key idea of the proposed scheme is to transform the original Gaussian-distributed OFDM signals into a specific statistics form, whose target probability density function is defined by a piecewise function with an inflexion point. By properly choosing the transform parameters, this scheme can enable more flexibility and freedom in the companding form so that a favorable tradeoff between PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) performance can be achieved. Moreover, compared to existing NCT techniques, this scheme dramatically decreases the impact of companding distortion on the BER performance to reach a given PAPR level. The analytical expressions regarding the achievable transform gain in PAPR, complementary cumulative density function, attenuation coefficient, and selection criteria of transform parameters are derived. Simulation results justify the significance and accuracy of the analytical expressions presented.

Linear Companding Transform for the Reduction of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio of OFDM Signals

A major drawback of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is their high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which causes serious degradation in performance when a nonlinear power amplifier (PA) is used. Companding transform (CT) is a well-known method to reduce PAPR without restrictions on system parameters such as number of subcarriers, frame format and constellation type. Recently, a linear nonsymmetrical companding transform (LNST) that has better performance than logarithmic-based transforms such as $mu$-law companding was proposed. In this paper, a new linear companding transform (LCT) with more design flexibility than LNST is proposed. Computer simulations show that the proposed transform has a better PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) performance than LNST with better power spectral density (PSD).

Low-Complexity PAPR Reduction of MC-SS Signals in PAN

A peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme with low complexity is proposed for the multicarrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) system in personal area network (PAN). Traditional clipping and filtering scheme requires a high oversampling rate to meet the emission mask requirements. This would cause high power consumption for mobile PAN devices in personal network. To solve the problem, upsampling is introduced between clipping and filtering in this paper to reduce the oversampling rate. A simplified implementation structure is also derived for the proposed scheme. Simulation results show that its complexity is about 65% of the conventional scheme while achieving satisfying performance.

Raised Cosine-Like Companding Scheme for Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction of SCFDMA Signals

The 3rd generation partnership project long term evolution standard uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access in downlink and single carrier frequency division multiple access (SCFDMA) scheme for the uplink transmissions, which utilizes single carrier modulation and frequency domain equalization. In this paper, we proposed a Raised Cosine-like companding scheme to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of SCFDMA signals. The proposed scheme can transform the original SCFDMA signals into Raised Cosine-like-distributed. Moreover, this scheme can compress the large signals, while maintaining the average power constant. Computer simulation results show that the proposed companding scheme can offer better PAPR reduction by properly choosing the parameters.     

Bit-Based SLM Schemes for PAPR Reduction in QAM Modulated OFDM Signals

In this paper, we propose two bit-based selected mapping (SLM) schemes for reducing peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), called bitwise SLM (BSLM) and partial bit inverted SLM (PBISLM). Contrary to the conventional SLM which rotates the phases of QAM symbols in the frequency domain, the proposed schemes change the magnitudes as well as the phases of QAM symbols by applying binary phase sequences to the binary data sequence before mapped to QAM symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better PAPR reduction performance with shaping gain than the conventional SLM scheme for the QAM modulated OFDM signals, especially for the small number of subcarriers.

A Computationally Efficient Tree-PTS Technique for PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals

The high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of time domain signals has been a major problem in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, and thus various PAPR reduction algorithms have been introduced. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is one of the most attractive solutions because of its good performance without distortion. However, it is considered as an impractical solution for the realization of high-speed data transmission systems due to its high computational complexity. In this paper, a novel PAPR reduction algorithm based on a tree-structured searching technique is proposed to reduce the PAPR with low complexity. In the proposed scheme, the computational complexity of searching process is decreased by adjusting the size of tree with two parameters, width and depth, while preserving good performance. The simulation results show that proposed scheme provides similar performance with optimum case with remarkably reduced computational complexity.     

Efficient PAPR Reduction in DCT-SCFDMA System Based on Absolute Exponential Companding Technique with Pulse Shaping

Discrete Cosine Transform based Single carrier frequency division multiple access (DCT-SCFDMA) is a prominent technique for providing high data rates in multimedia services. It also provides high Quality of Service to the users by mitigating the fading of signals. But High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a technical challenge which reduces the efficiency of RF power amplifiers. In this article, a novel joint scheme of PAPR reduction method is proposed and analyzed based on pulse shaping and absolute exponential companding (AEXP) technique. Our method proposes the use of standard raised cosine filter and square root raised cosine filter along with the AEXP companding process separately in DCT-SCFDMA system for different subcarrier mapping techniques e.g. interleaved frequency division multiple access and localized frequency division multiple access. Through extensive simulations, the numerical analysis presents that proposed architecture achieves significant improvements over the existing standard pulse shaping methods when used alone in DCT-SCFDMA system as far as the lowest PAPR is concerned.
