On PAPR Reduction of OFDM using Partial Transmit Sequence with Intelligent Optimization Algorithms

In recent time, the demand for multimedia data services over wireless links has grown up rapidly. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) forms the basis for all 3G and beyond wireless communication standards due to its efficient frequency utilization permitting near ideal data rate and ubiquitous coverage with high mobility. OFDM signals are prone to high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR). Unfortunately, the high PAPR inherent to OFDM signal envelopes occasionally drives high power amplifiers (HPAs) to operate in the nonlinear region of their characteristic leading out-of-band radiation, reduction in efficiency of communication system etc. A plethora of research has been devoted to reducing the performance degradation due to the PAPR problem inherent to OFDM systems. Advanced techniques such as partial transmit sequences (PTS) and selected mapping (SLM) have been considered most promising for PAPR reduction. Such techniques are seen to be efficient for distortion-less signal processing but suffer from computational complexity and often requires transmission of extra information in terms of several side information (SI) bits leading to loss in effective data rate. This thesis investigates the PAPR problem using Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) scheme, where optimization is achieved with evolutionary bio-inspired metaheuristic stochastic algorithms. The phase factor optimization in PTS is used for PAPR reduction. At first, swarm intelligence based Firefly PTS (FF-PTS) algorithm is proposed which delivers improved PAPR performance with reduced searching complexity. Following this, Cuckoo Search based PTS (CS-PTS) technique is presented, which offers good PAPR performance in terms of solution quality and convergence speed. Lastly, Improved Harmony search based PTS (IHS-PTS) is introduced, which provides improved PAPR. The algorithm has simple structure with a very few parameters for larger PTS sub-blocks. The PAPR performance of the proposed technique with different parameters is also verified through extensive computer simulations. Furthermore, complexity analysis of algorithms demonstrates that the proposed schemes offer significant complexity reduction when compared to standard PAPR reduction techniques. Findings have been validated through extensive simulation tests

On Efficient Signal Processing Algorithms for Signal Detection and PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

The driving force of the study is susceptibility of LS algorithm to noise. As LS algorithm is simple to implement, hence it’s performance improvement can contribute a lot to the wireless technology that are especially deals with high computation. Cascading of AdaBoost algorithm with LS greatly influences the OFDM system performance. Performance of Adaptive Boosting based symbol recovery was investigated on the performance of LS, MMSE, BLUE were also compared with the performance of AdaBoost algorithm and MMSE has been found the higher computational complexity. Furthermore, MMSE also requires apriori channel statistics and computational complexity O(5N3) of the MMSE increases exponentially as the number of carrier increases. For the Adaboost case the computational complexity calculation is little different.Therefore, in the training stage of the AdaBoost algorithm, the computational complexity is only O(nT M) Furthermore, as it is a classification algorithm so in the receiver side we will require a separate de-mapper (or decoder) to get the desired data bits, i.e., a. SAS aided DCT based PAPR reduction 1326 and b. SAS aided DCT based PAPR reduction. A successive addition subtraction preprocessed DCT based PAPR reduction technique was proposed. Here, the performance of proposed method was compared with other preexisting techniques like SLM and PTS and the performance of the proposed method was seen to outperform specially in low PAPR region. In the proposed PAPR reduction method, the receiver is aware of the transmitted signal processing, this enables a reverse operation at the receiver to extract the transmit data. Hence the requirement of sending extra information through extra subcarrier is eliminated. The proposed method is also seen to be spectrally efficient. In the case of PTS and SLM it is inevitable to send the side information to retrieve the transmit signal. Hence, these two methods are spectrally inefficient. Successive addition subtraction based PAPR reduction method was also applied to MIMO systems. The performance of the SAS based PAPR reduction method also showed better performance as compared to other technique. An extensive simulation of MIMO OFDM PAPR reduction was carried out by varying the number of subcarriers and number of transmitter antennas. A detailed computational complexity analysis was also carried out. BATE aided SDMA multi user detection. A detailed study of SDMA system was carried out with it’s mathematical analysis.Many linear and non linear detectors like ML, MMSE, PIC, SIC have been proposed in literature for multiuser detection of SDMA system. However, except MMSE every receivers other are computational extensive. So as to enhance the performance of the MMSE MUD a meta heuristic Bat algorithm was incorporated in cascade with MMSE

New methods of partial transmit sequence for reducing the high peak-to-average-power ratio with low complexity in the ofdm and f-ofdm systems

The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system (OFDM) is one of the most important components for the multicarrier waveform design in the wireless communication standards. Consequently, the OFDM system has been adopted by many high-speed wireless standards. However, the high peak-to-average- power ratio (PAPR) is the main obstacle of the OFDM system in the real applications because of the non-linearity nature in the transmitter. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is one of the effective PAPR reduction techniques that has been employed for reducing the PAPR value 3 dB; however, the high computational complexity is the main drawback of this technique. This thesis proposes novel methods and algorithms for reducing the high PAPR value with low computational complexity depending on the PTS technique. First, three novel subblocks partitioning schemes, Sine Shape partitioning scheme (SS-PTS), Subsets partitioning scheme (Sb-PTS), and Hybrid partitioning scheme (H-PTS) have been introduced for improving the PAPR reduction performance with low computational complexity in the frequency-domain of the PTS structure. Secondly, two novel algorithms, Grouping Complex iterations algorithm (G-C-PTS), and Gray Code Phase Factor algorithm (Gray-PF-PTS) have been developed to reduce the computational complexity for finding the optimum phase rotation factors in the time domain part of the PTS structure. Third, a new hybrid method that combines the Selective mapping and Cyclically Shifts Sequences (SLM-CSS-PTS) techniques in parallel has been proposed for improving the PAPR reduction performance and the computational complexity level. Based on the proposed methods, an improved PTS method that merges the best subblock partitioning scheme in the frequency domain and the best low-complexity algorithm in the time domain has been introduced to enhance the PAPR reduction performance better than the conventional PTS method with extremely low computational complexity level. The efficiency of the proposed methods is verified by comparing the predicted results with the existing modified PTS methods in the literature using Matlab software simulation and numerical calculation. The results that obtained using the proposed methods achieve a superior gain in the PAPR reduction performance compared with the conventional PTS technique. In addition, the number of complex addition and multiplication operations has been reduced compared with the conventional PTS method by about 54%, and 32% for the frequency domain schemes, 51% and 65% for the time domain algorithms, 18% and 42% for the combining method. Moreover, the improved PTS method which combines the best scheme in the frequency domain and the best algorithm in the time domain outperforms the conventional PTS method in terms of the PAPR reduction performance and the computational complexity level, where the number of complex addition and multiplication operation has been reduced by about 51% and 63%, respectively. Finally, the proposed methods and algorithms have been applied to the OFDM and Filtered-OFDM (F-OFDM) systems through Matlab software simulation, where F-OFDM refers to the waveform design candidate in the next generation technology (5G)
