A simple nonlinear companding transform for nonlinear compensation of direct-detection optical OFDM systems

In direct-detection OFDM systems, the nonlinear effects caused by optical modulation and fiber transmission can degrade the system performance severely. In this study, we propose a new nonlinear companding transform to improve the performance of direct detection optical OFDM transmission systems. The demonstration is realized by Monte-Carlo simulation of the intensity modulation and direct-detection DCO-OFDM optical transmission system at 40 Gbps over a 80 km of standard single mode fiber link. The influence of the companding parameters on the performance of system in different nonlinear transmission conditions has been investigated via simulation

Subcarrier Filtering For Spectrally Efficient Multicarrier Modulation Schemes and Its Impact on PAPR: A Unified Approach

Multicarrier modulation (MCM) based schemes have been a major contributing factor in revolutionizing cellular networks due to their ability to overcome fading. One of the popular scheme orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), having been part of 4G, is also adapted as part of 5G enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB).  Though it has several advantages, spectral efficiency (SE) and peak to average power ratio (PAPR) have been two major concerns which have attracted lot of attention resulting in proposals of several other MCM schemes.  But most of these studies have treated the two issues independently. This paper in particular studies the subcarrier filtering approach to improve the spectral efficiency of MCM scheme and its impact on the overall PAPR of such schemes. The analysis shows that the PAPR improvement is also achieved by such filters meant for spectral confinement and the simulation results validate the same provoking a unified research direction less explored till now

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

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

Ciphered BCH Codes for PAPR Reduction in the OFDM in Underwater Acoustic Channels

We propose an effective, low complexity and multifaceted scheme for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system for underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. In UWA OFDM systems, PAPR reduction is a challenging task due to low bandwidth availability along with computational and power limitations. The proposed scheme takes advantage of XOR ciphering and generates ciphered Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) codes that have low PAPR. This scheme is based upon an algorithm that computes several keys offline, such that when the BCH codes are XOR-ciphered with these keys, it lowers the PAPR of BCH-encoded signals. The subsequent low PAPR modified BCH codes produced using the chosen keys are used in transmission. This technique is ideal for UWA systems as it does not require additional computational power at the transceiver during live transmission. The advantage of the proposed scheme is threefold. First, it reduces the PAPR; second, since it uses BCH codes, the bit error rate (BER) of the system improves; and third, a level of encryption is introduced via XOR ciphering, enabling secure communication. Simulations were performed in a realistic UWA channel, and the results demonstrated that the proposed scheme could indeed achieve all three objectives with minimum computational powerThis research was funded by a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in the framework of the project “NAUTILUS: Swarms of underwater autonomous vehicles guided by artificial intelligence: its time has come” (PID2020-112502RB / AEI / 10.13039/501100011033).

Peak to average power ratio reduction in spectrally efficient FDM using repeated clipping and filtering

Multi-carrier transmission may be considered one of the important developments in wireless communications. Spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) is a promising multi-carrier modulation which can significantly improve utilization of spectral. The SEFDM has high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) like any multicarrier system. High PAPR reduces the random forest (RF) transmitter power amplifier efficiency, which minimize the use of this technique in limited power supply transmitters. In this work, a repeated clipping and filtering method is introduced to reduce the PAPR in SEFDM with minimum or no out of band radiation. The results of the simulated approach show that the PAPR of the SEFDM was reduced from 16.264 dB to 7.9146 dB with marginal degradation in system performance when the clipping ratio varied from 4 to 2

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
