Adaptive PAPR Reduction Scheme for OFDM Using SLM with the Fusion of Proposed Clipping and Filtering Technique in Order to Diminish PAPR and Signal Distortion

Abstract

One of the main disadvantages of multicarrier transmission is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. If the highest transmitted power is confined by the application restrictions or regulatory, the result is to decrease the average power permitted under multicarrier transmission. Selected mapping (SLM) is a standard PAPR reduction scheme that is appropriate for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme as it realizes the performance of PAPR reduction without signal distortion. This paper proposes a method in order to handle the difficulties of high PAPR in OFDM scheme. The offered system is an arrangement of two distinguished methods, such as clipping and SLM. Compared to other hybrid methods, where the individual methods are implemented sequentially, this paper integrates the clipping method in the SLM procedure. This produces a supplementary PAPR reduction associated to the serial arrangement. Simulation results specify that the offered scheme acquires the performance of appropriate PAPR reduction with low computational complexity. The PAPR reduction at different number of subcarriers is analyzed and compared with the existing research work. The performance of relative energy efficiency has also been focused on this paper.
