PAPR reduction of OFDM signals using partial transmit sequence: an optimal approach using sphere decoding

摘要

Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is a promising technique for peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Computation of optimal PTS weight factors via exhaustive search requires exponential complexity in the number of subblocks; consequently, many suboptimal strategies have been developed to date. In this letter, we introduce an efficient algorithm for computing the optimal PTS weights that has lower complexity than exhaustive search.
