Adjacent Partitioning Based MIMO-OFDM System with Partial Transmit Sequence for PAPR Reduction

The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission approach has been chosen to be a standard of fourth-generation (4G) wireless communication systems, but it has to cope with the main disadvantages and challenges of OFDM-based techniques, including the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) being a predictable random variable in multicarrier system and it can be minimized by different techniques. Complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) is used to describe the PAPR appropriately. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an attractive distortion less peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In this paper the performance of one of scrambling technique called partial transmit sequence (PTS) in MIMO-OFDM system and adjacent partitioning(one of the partitioning technique) in MIMO-OFDM system with PTS are analyzed based on the characteristics of CCDF DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150514

PAR-Aware Large-Scale Multi-User MIMO-OFDM Downlink

We investigate an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based downlink transmission scheme for large-scale multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems. The use of OFDM causes a high peak-to-average (power) ratio (PAR), which necessitates expensive and power-inefficient radio-frequency (RF) components at the base station. In this paper, we present a novel downlink transmission scheme, which exploits the massive degrees-of-freedom available in large-scale MU-MIMO-OFDM systems to achieve low PAR. Specifically, we propose to jointly perform MU precoding, OFDM modulation, and PAR reduction by solving a convex optimization problem. We develop a corresponding fast iterative truncation algorithm (FITRA) and show numerical results to demonstrate tremendous PAR-reduction capabilities. The significantly reduced linearity requirements eventually enable the use of low-cost RF components for the large-scale MU-MIMO-OFDM downlink.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication

Review on PAR Reduction Techniques for MIMO-OFDM

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier communication scheme Plays a prominent role in wireless communication technology as multicarrier transmission scheme. The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is an attractive solution for next generation of wireless network. However, practical implementation of OFDM introduced a major drawback known as high Peak-to-Average Power ratio (PAR).

Peak to average power ratio reduction in STBC MIMO-OFDM

Advisors: Mansour Tahernezhadi.Committee members: Abhijit Gupta; Donald Zinger.Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an advanced 3G/4G scheme which achieves high data rate and combats multipath fading. However, OFDM systems suffer from nonlinear peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and carrier frequency offsets (CFO). These two factors lead to degraded performance and thereby reducing the system efficiency. OFDM with multiple antennas both at transmitter and receiver and space-time block coding is used to increase the channel capacity and receiver diversity. Space-time block coding is used to increase data rate and for reliable communications. With space-time block coding we can take advantage of both space and time. It is also possible to implement spatial multiplexing using space-time block coding. However, MIMO-OFDM also suffers from high PAPR value. Many methods have been proposed to reduce the PAPR problem in OFDM. Distortion techniques, coding techniques and scrambling techniques are some of those methods. These methods can be extended to MIMO-OFDM. Distortion techniques can reduce the PAPR, but in turn it increases bit error rate. Coding techniques have limitations with number of subcarriers. Scrambling techniques can reduce the PAPR effectively. In this paper we used SLM and PTS methods to reduce the PAPR problem in MIMO-OFDM. The bit error rate performance for each method is plotted and compared with each other. BER performance of MIMO is compared with SIMO and MISO.M.S. (Master of Science

One of the major drawbacks in the MIMO-OFDM is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR).Clipping & Filtering, Selective Mapping (SLM), Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) are some of the techniques which minimizes the PAPR. In this review paper, different techniques of PAPR reduction have been studied

Peak to average power ratio reduction and error control in MIMO-OFDM HARQ System

Currently, multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMOOFDM) systems underlie crucial wireless communication systems such as commercial 4G and 5G networks, tactical communication, and interoperable Public Safety communications. However, one drawback arising from OFDM modulation is its resulting high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This problem increases with an increase in the number of transmit antennas. In this work, a new hybrid PAPR reduction technique is proposed for space-time block coding (STBC) MIMO-OFDM systems that combine the coding capabilities to PAPR reduction methods, while leveraging the new degree of freedom provided by the presence of multiple transmit chairs (MIMO). In the first part, we presented an extensive literature review of PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM and MIMO-OFDM systems. The work developed a PAPR reduction technique taxonomy, and analyzed the motivations for reducing the PAPR in current communication systems, emphasizing two important motivations such as power savings and coverage gain. In the tax onomy presented here, we include a new category, namely, hybrid techniques. Additionally, we drew a conclusion regarding the importance of hybrid PAPR reduction techniques. In the second part, we studied the effect of forward error correction (FEC) codes on the PAPR for the coded OFDM (COFDM) system. We simulated and compared the CCDF of the PAPR and its relationship with the autocorrelation of the COFDM signal before the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) block. This allows to conclude on the main characteristics of the codes that generate high peaks in the COFDM signal, and therefore, the optimal parameters in order to reduce PAPR. We emphasize our study in FEC codes as linear block codes, and convolutional codes. Finally, we proposed a new hybrid PAPR reduction technique for an STBC MIMO-OFDM system, in which the convolutional code is optimized to avoid PAPR degradation, which also combines successive suboptimal cross-antenna rotation and inversion (SS-CARI) and iterative modified companding and filtering schemes. The new method permits to obtain a significant net gain for the system, i.e., considerable PAPR reduction, bit error rate (BER) gain as compared to the basic MIMO-OFDM system, low complexity, and reduced spectral splatter. The new hybrid technique was extensively evaluated by simulation, and the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF), the BER, and the power spectral density (PSD) were compared to the original STBC MIMO-OFDM signal

On Out-of-Band Emissions of Quantized Precoding in Massive MU-MIMO-OFDM

We analyze out-of-band (OOB) emissions in the massive multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink. We focus on systems in which the base station (BS) is equipped with low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is used to communicate to the user equipments (UEs) over frequency-selective channels. We demonstrate that analog filtering in combination with simple frequency-domain digital predistortion (DPD) at the BS enables a significant reduction of OOB emissions, but degrades the signal-to-interference-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINDR) at the UEs and increases the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) at the BS. We use Bussgang's theorem to characterize the tradeoffs between OOB emissions, SINDR, and PAR, and to study the impact of analog filters and DPD on the error-rate performance of the massive MU-MIMO-OFDM downlink. Our results show that by carefully tuning the parameters of the analog filters, one can achieve a significant reduction in OOB emissions with only a moderate degradation of error-rate performance and PAR.Comment: Presented at the 2017 Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, 6 page

Performance Analysis of MIMO SFBC CI-COFDM System against the Nonlinear Distortion and Narrowband Interference

Carrier Interferometry Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CI-COFDM) system has been widely studied in multi-carrier communication system. The CI-COFDM system spreads each coded information symbol across all N sub-carriers using orthogonal CI spreading codes. The CI-COFDM system shows the advantages of Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction, frequency diversity and coding gain without any loss of communication throughput. On the other side, a great attention has been devoted to Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) antenna systems and space-time-frequency processing. In this paper, we focus on two Transmit (Tx)/one Receive (Rx) antennas configuration and evaluate the performance of MIMO OFDM, MIMO CIOFDM and MIMO CI-COFDM systems. Space Frequency Block Coding (SFBC) is applied to MIMO OFDM, MIMO CI-ODFM and MIMO CI-COFDM systems. For CI-COFDM realization, digital implemented CI-COFDM is used in which information conventional is encoded, CI code spreading operation and carrier allocation are processed by IFFT type operation. From simulation results, it is shown that MIMO SFBC CI-COFDM reduces PAPR significantly as compared with that of MIMO SFBC CI-OFDM and MIMO SFBC OFDM systems. In Narrow Band Interference (NBI) channel MIMO SFBC CI-COFDM systems achieve considerable Bit Error Rate (BER) improvement compared with MMO SFBC CI-OFDM and MIMO SFBC OFDM system

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A MULTICARRIER MIMO SYSTEM BASED ON DFT-PRECODING AND SUBCARRIER MAPPING

The ever-increasing end user demands are instigating the development of innovative methods targeting not only data rate enhancement but additionally better service quality in each subsequent wireless communication standard. This quest to achieve higher data rates has compelled the next generation communication technologies to use multicarrier systems e.g. orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), while also relying on the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. This paper is focused on implementing a MIMO-OFDM system and on using various techniques to optimize it in terms of the bit-error rate performance. The test case considered is a system implementation constituting the enabling technologies for 4G and beyond communication systems. The bit-error rate optimizations considered are based on preceding the OFDM modulation step by Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) while also considering various subcarrier mapping schemes. MATLAB-based simulation of a 2 × 2 MIMO-OFDM system exhibits a maximum of 2 to 5 orders of magnitude reduction in bit-error rate due to DFT-precoding and subcarrier mapping respectively at high signal-to-noise ratio values in various environments. A 2-3dBs reduction in peak-to-average power ratio due to DFT-precoding in different environments is also exhibited in the various simulations
