Abstract

Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) is a key technology for contemporary communication systems due to its spectral efficiency, higher data rates, better diversity gain, good link reliability and both inter symbol interference (ISI) and multipath fading free transmission. However, due to the presence of OFDM, MIMO-OFDM suffers from high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Even though, several schemes are available to mitigate PAPR, there is no standard solution. Selective Mapping (SLM) significantly reduces the PAPR in OFDM systems at the cost of computational complexity (CC). The CC of SLM can be reduced by proper design of SLM. This paper considers a low complexity SLM (LC SLM) scheme in which both the CC and length of the index of selected phase sequence are significantly reduced. The PAPR of an SLM-OFDM depends on the number of subcarriers in OFDM, the number of candidate blocks in SLM and selected phase sequence and this paper investigate various phase sequences and analyses their PAPR performance. Simulation results show the superior performance of Riemann sequence over the other phase sequences.
