A low-complexity modified SLM with new phase sequences for PAPR reduction in OFDM system

摘要

The major issue in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmitting signal. Selective mapping (SLM) is the promising technique to reduce PAPR in OFDM system. However, it suffers from high computational complexity. In our proposed method, to achieve low computational complexity, the input data sequences are partitioned into two sub blocks in such a way that the candidate signals are generated by performing circular convolution for the first sub block and by conventional SLM in the second sub block. The candidate signals of modified SLM are obtained by combining two sub block candidate signals. The proposed method reduces PAPR marginally along with reduction in computational complexity. To further reduce PAPR, different phase sequences namely Riemann, New Riemann and chaotic sequences are used in C-SLM. The Matlab simulation shows that, the modified SLM with new Riemann sequence results in high PAPR reduction than other phase sequences. In addition, it provides significant reduction computational complexity compared to C-SLM.
