PTS with Non-Uniform Phase Factors for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

摘要

Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is one of the effective and uncomplicated PAPR reduction methods for OFDM systems. The phase factors applied in the weighting sequences are assumed to be uniformly distributed within [0, 2pi). By carefully investigating the phase distribution of OFDM signals, we proposed a modified PTS scheme outperforming the conventional PTS scheme in PAPR reduction performance. The process of the proposed scheme is the same as the conventional PTS, except for applying the new non-uniform phase factors. The required side information is the same as the conventional PTS applying uniform phase factors.
