Selected Mapping (SLM) and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) are two very well-known Peak-to-average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction techniques for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Both these schemes show good PAPR reduction capabilities. However, for any PAPR reduction technique, the nature of spectral occupancy and the associated computational complexity also need to be taken into account when the overall performance is considered. In this paper, our goal is to perform a comparative performance analysis of SLM and PTS techniques by considering these three parameters, i.e. PAPR reduction, computational overhead and spectral compactness. For this, we at first look for the optimum values in terms of number of sequences in SLM and no. of sub-blocks in PTS. And then based on this finding, we perform performance analysis. Our finding shows that, PTS outperforms SLM when compared on the parameters mentioned above. Finally, to explore the feasibility of further improvement, we apply Walsh-Hadamard Transform to PTS scheme and show that it further reduces PAPR and improves spectral compactness.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered nowadays as a strong candidate solution for the spectrum scarcity problem. On standards level, many cognitive radio standards have chosen Non-Contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NC-OFDM) as their modulation scheme. Similar to OFDM, NC-OFDM suffers from the problem of having a high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). If not solved, either the transmitted signal will be distorted, which will cause interference to primary (licensed) users, or the effeciency of the power amplifier will be seriously degraded. The effect of the PAPR problem in NC-OFDM based cognitive radio networks is worse than normal OFDM systems. In this paper, we propose enhanced techniques to reduce the PAPR in NC-OFDM systems. We start by showing that combining two standard PAPR reduction techniques (interleaver-based and selective mapping) results in a lower PAPR than using them individually. Then, an “adaptive number of interleavers” will be proposed that achieves the same performance of conventional interleaver-based PAPR reduction while reducing the CPU time by 41.3%. Finally, adaptive joint interleaver with selective mapping is presented, and we show that it gives the same performance as conventional interleaver-based technique, with reduction in CPU time by a factor of 50.1%.


In the transmitted signal, the high peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) is the real disadvantage of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Among different PAPR reduction techniques, selected mapping (SLM) is a famous strategy that accomplishes good PAPR reduction performance without signal distortion. Likewise, Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is additionally solitary of the successful techniques to decrease the PAPR in OFDM. Though, result an optimal segment issue in PTS system is measured to exist a critical concern. To progress the existing PAPR reduction techniques, we have incorporated ideal SLM and PTS based PAPR reduction strategy in parallel. By utilizing, the OGWO algorithm; the transmit succession was chosen with least PAPR above all communication antennas. The proposed PAPR reduction approach is applied independently on each transmitted antenna, and so the PAPR can be extremely reduced. Moreover, the OGWO optimization based PAPR reduction technique will provide better performance and it was been promoted as an uncomplicated way for PAPR reduction. The proposed approach will be analyzed with various novel PAPR reduction schemes to show the effectiveness.

In this study, a proposal is offered in order to calculate the Bit Error Rate with the Signal to Noise Ratio. Here in this paper, it is illustrated that by comparing this analysis among the other mechanisms effective results can be obtained. By applying the ACE scheme in which the clipping technique block is replaced with Peak Inversion (PI) and butter worth band-pass filter is added after the ACE constraint block for generating less distortion and more smoothing. As, it has been concluded from a survey that among different PAPR reduction techniques, PI found to be an effective technique which can reduce PAPR to an extent by incorporating a relatively high impulse. The MATLAB is used for analyzing the enhanced ACE scheme that offers better results in terms of both PAPR and BER.
