Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely used technology for wireless broadband communications. However, it also suffers from some drawbacks. One of the critical limitations is the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which causes distortions of some nonlinear components such as power amplifiers. A number of techniques have been proposed to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals, among which the clipping-based methods have gained a lot of attention due to the effective PAPR reduction and simplicity of implementation. This paper proposes a novel clipping-based method to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals. Based on the recently proposed clipping noise compression (CNC) method, the proposed scheme introduces a preset normalization factor to replace the calculation of average amplitude of clipping noise in the original CNC method during compression processing. Comparative simulations were carried out, and the results exhibit that the proposed method achieves better bit-error-ratio performance with equal level of PAPR reduction compared to the original CNC method.

An important disadvantage of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals is high peakto-average power ratio (PAPR), causing genuine debasement popular execution when a nonlinear power amplifier (PA) is utilized. A notable technique to diminish power ratio deprived of confinements on framework parameters is Companding Transform (CT), for example, the sum of subcarriers, outline organization, and gathering type. Another nonlinear companding change, the utilization of hyperbolic transfer sigmoid function capacity is proposed for PAPR decrease in this paper. The proposed methodology extends the little flag and packs the pinnacle flag in the time zone at the same time without changing the average power. Results dependent on MATLAB demonstrate that the proposed methodology increases additional pinnacle decrease and improves the BER (bit error ratio)execution.

The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique is one of the key strategies for multiuser signal transmission especially in smart grids and wind farms. This paper introduces an approach for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of such signals based on novel global harmony search (NGHS) and partial transmit sequence (PTS) schemes. In PTS technique, the data block to be transmitted is partitioned into disjoint subblocks, which are combined using phase factors to minimize PAPR. The PTS requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase factors. Therefore, with respect to the fast implementation and simplicity of NGHS technique, we could achieve significant reduction of PAPR.

AbstractA major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is the high value of peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Partial transmit sequences (PTS) is a popular PAPR reduction method with good PAPR reduction performance, but its search complexity is high. In this paper, in order to reduce PTS search complexity we propose a new technique based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO). More specifically, we present a new Generalized Oppositional Biogeography Based Optimization (GOBBO) algorithm which is enhanced with Oppositional Based Learning (OBL) techniques. We apply both the original BBO and the new Generalized Oppositional BBO (GOBBO) to the PTS problem. The GOBBO-PTS method is compared with other PTS schemes for PAPR reduction found in the literature. The simulation results show that GOBBO and BBO are in general highly efficient in producing significant PAPR reduction and reducing the PTS search complexity.

Several high-speed wireless systems use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) due to its advantages. 5G has adopted OFDM and is expected to be considered beyond 5G (B5G). Meanwhile, OFDM has a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Hybridization between two PAPR reduction techniques gains the two techniques’ advantages. Hybrid precoding-companding techniques are attractive as they require small computational complexity to achieve high PAPR reduction gain. Many precoding-companding techniques were introduced to increasing the PAPR reduction gain. However, reducing Bit Error Rate (BER) and out-of-band (OOB) radiation are more significant than increasing PAPR reduction gain. This paper proposes a new precoding-companding technique to better reduce the BER and OOB radiation than previous precoding-companding techniques. Results showed that the proposed technique outperforms all previous precoding-companding techniques in BER enhancement and OOB radiation reduction. The proposed technique reduces the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) by 15 dB compared with 10 dB for the best previous technique. Additionally, the proposed technique increases high power amplifier efficiency (HPA) by 11.4%, while the best previous technique increased HPA efficiency by 9.8%. Moreover, our proposal achieves PAPR reduction gain better than the most known powerful PAPR reduction technique with a 99% reduction in required computational complexity.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), widely used in digital wireless communication, has a major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A reduced complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme has been proposed to solve high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In the proposed PTS scheme, a function is generated by summing the power of time domain samples at time ‘n’ in each sub blocks, known as “Hn”.Only those samples, having Hn greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (αT) are used for peak power calculation during the process of selecting a candidate signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission. As compared to conventional PTS scheme, the proposed scheme achieves almost the same PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity.

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main disadvantages for OFDM signals, which will always result in low power efficiency of power amplifier. The peak cancellation method is a powerful PAPR reduction technique. In this paper, the advanced peak cancellation implement method (APC) is proposed for OFDM signals. Extensive simulations demonstrate that in comparison with the conversational peak cancellation implement method, the APC is more suitable for OFDM signals due to less iteration and comparative performance.


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.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive multicarrier technique for the simplicity of equalization and high data throughput. However, the transmitted OFDM signal has a very high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which severely degrades the performance of practical OFDM systems and reduces the efficiency of high-power amplifiers (HPA). The selected mapping (SLM) scheme is an effective PAPR reduction method of OFDM signals. However, this approach usually requires side information (SI) transmission, which increases the difficulty of the hardware implementation with high complexity and reduces the data transmission rate. In this paper, based on designing phase rotation vectors in the time domain, a novel blind SLM method with low complexity is proposed to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals. At the transmitter, the proposed method properly designs the phase rotation vectors in the time domain, which can be considered as an equivalent wireless channel without SI transmission. At the receiver, the effect of phase rotation vectors can be removed by the conventional channel estimation method, and the data demodulation processing can be easily performed by the frequency domain equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve low complexity in PAPR reduction and has great robustness in bit error rate (BER) performance compared to the other low-complexity SLM PAPR schemes.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique is becoming the chosen modulation technique for wireless communications. OFDM can provide large data rates with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. There are two main drawbacks with OFDM, the peak to average power ratio and its sensitivity to frequency errors. The signal peak to average power ratio reduction solution play an important role to improve performance of OFDM that peak occurs after symbols fed to FFT to produce time domain signal, adding signals up coherently. In This paper we proposes technique to reduce the PAPR using Huffman coding combined with selective interleaver as distortion less scrambling technique. We utilize the amount saved in the total bit rate by the Huffman coding to send the information of the selected interleaver and encoding table for accurate decoding at the receiver without reducing the effective throughput. Performed computer simulations have shown that the proposed scheme outperform the performance of most of the recent PAPR reduction techniques in most cases. By using this method 2.63 dB PAPR reduction is achieved.
