A Novel PTS Scheme for PAPR Reduction of Filtered-OFDM Signals without Side Information

摘要

In this paper, a novel partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme is proposed for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (f-OFDM) systems. The PTS method is modified such that no side information (SI) transmission is needed. The data and pilot recovery are accomplished by a simple detector, making use of the correlation property of the Hadamard sequence and the transparency property of the pilot signal and an iterative phase detection is further added in a fading channel. Simulation results show that the modified solution provides a higher correct detection probability without increasing the system complexity nor affecting the PAPR suppression performance.
