New scheme for PAPR reduction in FBMC-OQAM systems based on combining TR and deep clipping techniques

Filter bank multi-carrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC-OQAM) system is a very efficient multicarrier modulation technique for 5G, but it suffers as all multicarriers designs from large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Tone reservation (TR) is a method designed to solve this problem by reserving several subcarriers called tones in the frequency domain to generate a cancellation signal in the time domain to eliminate high peaks. In this paper, we suggest a serial combination of tone reservation (TR) method with an enhanced version of clipping called deep clipping (DC) method (TR&DC) to enhance the peaks (PAPR) mitigation in FBMC-OQAM signal model without significantly impacting the quality of transmission. Numerical results and analysis show that the new TR&DC approach allows better overall performance and offers remarkable gain in term of PAPR mitigation than the TR method, with similar BER performance to TR over additive white gaussian noise channel and Rapp HPA model

Modified Alternative-signal Technique for Sequential Optimisation for PAPR Reduction in OFDM-OQAM Systems

A modified alternative signal technique for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM-OQAM) is proposed. Lower PAPR reduces the complexity of digital to analog converters and results in increasing the efficiency of power amplifiers. The main objective of the algorithm is to decrease PAPR with low complexity. The alternative signal method involves the individual alternative signal (AS-I) and combined alternative signal (AS-C) algorithms. Both the algorithms decrease the peak to average power ratio of OFDM-OQAM signals and AS-C algorithm performs better in decreasing PAPR. However the complexity of AS-C algorithm is very high compared to that of AS-I. To achieve reduction in PAPR with low complexity, modified alternative signal technique with sequential optimisation (MAS-S) is proposed. The quantitative PAPR analysis and complexity analysis of the proposed algorithm are carried out. It is demonstrated that MAS-S algorithm simultaneously achieves PAPR reduction and low complexity

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

Уменьшение PAPR в системах FBMC-OQAM на основе дискретного преобразования скользящей нормы

Полный текст доступен на сайте издания по подписке: http://radio.kpi.ua/article/view/S0021347019020018Работа посвящена преодолению недостатка, связанного с величиной отношения пикового уровня мощности сигнала к среднему PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio), возникающего при нескольких несущих в банке фильтров FBMC (Filter-Bank Multi-Carriers) с квадратурной амплитудной модуляцией со сдвигом OQAM (Offset-QAM) в системах FBMC-OQAM, которые являются кандидатом при формировании формы сигнала для беспроводных систем связи пятого поколения. Дискретное преобразование скользящей нормы DSNT (Discrete Sliding Norm Transform) после обратного дискретного преобразования Фурье IDFT (Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform) предлагается на основе L2-метрики и нормы для пяти отсчетов при каждой операции скольжения. В предлагаемом составе L2-на-5 DSNT рассматривается использование перекрывающейся структуры FBMC-OQAM. Это существенно уменьшает величину PAPR в системах FBMC-OQAM, что гарантирует линейность характеристики усилителя большой мощности HPA (High Power Amplifier) и позволяет избежать искажения сигнала. Основные достоинства этой методики состоят в уменьшении вычислительной сложности по сравнению с известными методиками и отсутствии необходимости в какой-либо дополнительной информации SI (Side Information) на стороне приемника. Результаты моделирования показали, что методика L2-на-5 DSNT позволяет достичь 40% уменьшения величины PAPR при CCDF = 10^(–3) по сравнению с исходной системой FBMC-OQAM

Enhanced Multicarrier Techniques for Professional Ad-Hoc and Cell-Based Communications (EMPhAtiC) Document Number D3.3 Reduction of PAPR and non linearities effects

Livrable d'un projet Européen EMPHATICLike other multicarrier modulation techniques, FBMC suffers from high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), impacting its performance in the presence of a nonlinear high power amplifier (HPA) in two ways. The first impact is an in-band distortion affecting the error rate performance of the link. The second impact is an out-of-band effect appearing as power spectral density (PSD) regrowth, making the coexistence between FBMC based broad-band Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) systems with existing narrowband systems difficult to achieve. This report addresses first the theoretical analysis of in-band HPA distortions in terms of Bit Error Rate. Also, the out-of band impact of HPA nonlinearities is studied in terms of PSD regrowth prediction. Furthermore, the problem of PAPR reduction is addressed along with some HPA linearization techniques and nonlinearity compensation approaches

Numerical Simulation and Design of Low PAPR FBMC Communication System for 5G Applications

Unlike SC-FDMA (Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access), merging only DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) addition with FBMC-OQAM (filter group multi-carrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation) only cuts the marginal PAPR. (Peak-to-average power ratio). To take advantage of the single carrier effect of DFT extension, special conditions for the coefficients of the IQ (in-phase and quadrature phase) channels of every single subcarrier ought to be met. As a beginning point, we first originate this form, which we call the ITSM (Identical Time-Shifted Multi-Carrier) condition. Then, depending on this condition, we put forward a new FBMC for low PAPR. The foremost features of the offered way out are summarized as: First, to additionally raise the PAPR reduction, we created four candidate versions of the FBMC waveform for DFT spreading out and ITSM conditions and carefully chosen one with the least peak power. Even with various candidate generations, unlike the traditional SI (Side information) based PAPR reduction scheme, the focal computational fragments (such as DFT and IDFT) are shared and need only be executed one time. Therefore, matched to the prior DFT-expanded FBMC, the overhead in complexity is small, and the recommended pattern can realize a PAPR reduction comparable to SC-FDMA. Second, in the projected pattern each one pass on only two bits of SI from a block of FBMC-OQAM symbols. And so, the SI overhead is meaningfully lesser than a conventional SI-based scheme such as SLM (Selective Mapping) or PTS (Partial Transmission Sequence).The whole work is executed using MATLAB software. The PAPR of FBMC system has been significantly reduced after the application of proposed algorithm. PAPR was reduced by 25 % after the use of DFT spreading and ITSM conditioning

OFDM PAPR reduction for image transmission using improved tone reservation

High peak to average power ration (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an important problem, which increase the cost and complexity of high power amplifiers. One of the techniques used to reduce the PAPR in OFDM system is the tone reservation method (TR). In our work we propose a modified tone reservation method to decrease the PAPR with low complexity compared with the conventional TR method by process the high and low amplitudes at the same time. An image of size 128×128 is used as a source of data that transmitted using OFDM system. The proposed method decrease the PAPR by 2dB compared with conventional method with keeping the performance unchanged. The performance of the proposed method is tested with several numbers of subcarriers; we found that the PAPR is reduced as the number of subcarriers decreased

PAPR reduction in FBMC using an ACE-based linear programming optimization

This paper presents four novel techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) modulation systems. The approach extends on current PAPR reduction active constellation extension (ACE) methods, as used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), to an FBMC implementation as the main contribution. The four techniques introduced can be split up into two: linear programming optimization ACE-based techniques and smart gradient-project (SGP) ACE techniques. The linear programming (LP)-based techniques compensate for the symbol overlaps by utilizing a frame-based approach and provide a theoretical upper bound on achievable performance for the overlapping ACE techniques. The overlapping ACE techniques on the other hand can handle symbol by symbol processing. Furthermore, as a result of FBMC properties, the proposed techniques do not require side information transmission. The PAPR performance of the techniques is shown to match, or in some cases improve, on current PAPR techniques for FBMC. Initial analysis of the computational complexity of the SGP techniques indicates that the complexity issues with PAPR reduction in FBMC implementations can be addressed. The out-of-band interference introduced by the techniques is investigated. As a result, it is shown that the interference can be compensated for, whilst still maintaining decent PAPR performance. Additional results are also provided by means of a study of the PAPR reduction of the proposed techniques at a fixed clipping probability. The bit error rate (BER) degradation is investigated to ensure that the trade-off in terms of BER degradation is not too severe. As illustrated by exhaustive simulations, the SGP ACE-based technique proposed are ideal candidates for practical implementation in systems employing the low-complexity polyphase implementation of FBMC modulators. The methods are shown to offer significant PAPR reduction and increase the feasibility of FBMC as a replacement modulation system for OFDM.http://asp.eurasipjournals.com/hb201

An efficient technique for out-of-band power reduction for the eliminated CP-STC-shaped system for 5G requirements

The most dominant needs for the recent wireless mobile applications are higher bandwidth (BW) efficiency, higher energy efficiency higher quality of services (QOS). The main technique in 4G systems is OFDM but it suffers from some limitations such as large peak to average power ratio (PAPR), higher Out-of-Band (OOB) power radiation, and wasting bandwidth efficiency due to cyclic prefix (CP) extension. In his paper, these OFDM limitations will be reduced with low computational complexity compared to filter bank multicarriers (FBMC). The proposed scheme is based on symbol time compression (STC) for OFDM system. The proposed STC-Shaped system is achieved via interleaver-spreader and symbol shaper in the transmitter side in addition to equalization and combining processes in the receiver side. Comparative study between the proposed system and the conventional OFDM in case of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and COST 207 typical multipath fading channel will be presented. The numerical results show that the proposed STC-Shaped scheme reduces OOB significantly. The proposed scheme improves BER in multipath Rayleigh fading although it is without CP. Thus, the proposed system is more robust against inter symbol interference (ISI) compared to conventional OFDM system. Also, the numerical results show that the PAPR of the proposed system is decreased significantly and also, it is derived theoretically. Also, the proposed scheme overcomes CP extension, and hence increases the bandwidth (BW) efficiency. Finally, the computational complexity for the proposed scheme is derived and it has very low complexity compared to FBMC. The system performance measurments has been fulfilled using cumulative distribution function (CDF), power spectral density (PSD) and bit error rate (BER)
