A Simplified Scheme of Estimation and Cancellation of Companding Noise for Companded Multicarrier Transmission Systems

Nonlinear companding transform is an efficient method to reduce the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of multicarrier transmission systems. However, the introduced companding noise greatly degrades the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the companded multicarrier systems. In this paper, a simplified but effective scheme of estimation and cancellation of companding noise for the companded multicarrier transmission system is proposed. By expressing the companded signals as the summation of original signals added with a companding noise component, and subtracting this estimated companding noise from the received signals, the BER performance of the overall system can be significantly improved. Simulation results well confirm the great advantages of the proposed scheme over other conventional decompanding or no decompanding schemes under various situations

Analysis of Improved µ-Law Companding Technique for OFDM Systems

YesHigh Peak-to-Average-Power Ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signals is a common problem in broadband telecommunication systems using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme, as it increases transmitter power consumption. In consumer applications where it impacts mobile terminal battery life and infrastructure running costs, this is a major factor in customer satisfaction. Companding techniques have been recently used to alleviate this high PAPR. In this paper, a companding scheme with an offset, amidst two nonlinear companding levels, is proposed to achieve better PAPR reduction while maintaining an acceptable bit error rate (BER) level, resulting in electronic products of higher power efficiency. Study cases have included the effect of companding on the OFDM signal with and without an offset. A novel closed-form approximation for the BER of the proposed companding scheme is also presented, and its accuracy is compared against simulation results. A method for choosing best companding parameters is presented based on contour plots. Practical emulation of a real time OFDM-based system has been implemented and evaluated using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

A SURVEY OF PAPR REDUCTION IN OFDM SIGNALS

  In Radio waves, the digital data can be transmitted using Burst number of data using OFDM technique. So only an OFDM Technique is called attractive modulation techniques. In this OFDM signal transmission having so many disadvantages, one of the main disadvantages is a Peak average power which is due to combination of sinusoidal leads to high peak-to power ratio (PAPR).Due to High PAPR, which leads to poor (i.e) degrades the signal performance of power amplifier in transmission, this PAPR can be reduce using some of the following technique like, there are Clipping, Coding, Partial transmit sequence (PTS), Sequential Mapping(SM), Tone reservation (TR), Tone injection (TI), Interleaving, Nonlinear companding transform, & Hadamard transform etc.Various technique are available to reduce the Peak power and discuss detail about the merits and demerits .Â

A Review Paper on PAPR Reduction in OFDM using SLM and Adaptive Clipping

Orthogonal Frequency division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an effectual technique of data transmission for high speed communication schemes. However, the main drawback of OFDM system is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the communicated signals. OFDM contain of large number of independent subcarriers, as a result of which the amplitude of such a signal can have high peak values. Coding, phase rotation and clipping are between many PAPR reduction schemes that have been proposed to overcome this problem. Here in this paper we survey on two different PAPR reduction methods adaptive clipping and selective mapping (SLM) are used to reduce PAPR. Important reduction in PAPR has been achieved using these techniques

Constrained RS coding for Low Peak to Average Power Ratio in FBMC -- OQAM Systems

Multi-carrier modulation techniques have now become a standard in many communication protocols. Filter bank based multi-carrier (FBMC) generation techniques have been discussed in the literature as a means for overcoming the shortcomings of IFFT/FFT based OFDM system. The Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is a problem faced by all multi-carrier techniques. This paper discusses the methods for reducing PAPR in a FBMC system while maintaining acceptable Bit Error Rate (BER). A new PAPR minimizing scheme called Constrained Reed Solomon (CRS) coding is proposed. The hybrid techniques using coding and companding are tested for different channel models and is found to yield promising results.Comment: 6 pages,6 Figures, Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineerin

A Novel PAPR Reduction in Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) with Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) Based VLC Systems

The peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the major problem with multicarrier-based systems. Due to its improved spectral efficiency and decreased PAPR, Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) has recently become an effective alternative to the orthogonal multiplexing division (OFDM). For filter bank multicarrier communication/offset quadrature amplitude modulation-Visible light communication (FBMC/OQAM-VLC) systems is proposed a PAPR reduction technique. The suggested approach overlaps the proposed FBMC/OQAM-based VLC data signal with the existing signals. Non-redundant signals and data signals do not overlap in the frequency domain because data signals are scattered on odd subcarriers whereas built signals use even subcarriers. To reduce the effects of large-amplitude signal reduction, the suggested technique converts negative signals into positive signals rather than clipping them off as in conventional FBMC-based VLC systems. The PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) are realized using a scaling factor in the transformed signals. Complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF) and BER are used to calculate the performance of the proposed approach. The presented study found that FBMC/OQAM-VLC systems to achieve a good trade-off between PAPR reduction and BER

A Low-Complexity SLM PAPR Reduction Scheme for OFDMA

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, selected mapping (SLM) techniques are widely used to minimize the peak to average power ratio (PAPR). The candidate signals are generated in the time domain by linearly mixing the original time-domain transmitted signal with numerous cyclic shift equivalents to reduce the amount of Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) operations in typical SLM systems. The weighting factors and number of cyclic shifts, on the other hand, should be carefully chosen to guarantee that the elements of the appropriate frequency domain phase rotation vectors are of equal magnitude. A low-complexity expression is chosen from among these options to create the proposed low-complexity scheme, which only requires one IFFT. In comparison to the existing SLM technique, the new SLM scheme achieves equivalent PAPR reduction performance with significantly less computing complexity. MATLAB tool is used for simulating the proposed work
