Abstract
Next generation wireless systems require much higher data rate supports and hence larger bandwidths than the existing systems. Due to the compatibility requirement with the existing legacy systems and the constraints on the availability of contiguous spectrum, bandwidth (or carrier) aggregation has recently emerged as a practical means for supporting high data rate requirement of next-generation systems. A practical issue associated with the bandwidth or carrier aggregation is the significant increase of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the time-domain signal. This paper proposes a low-complexity PAPR reduction method for bandwidth aggregated systems with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing / multiple-access (OFDM/OFDMA) or single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA). The proposed approach adopts the existing selective mapping concept, but with some modifications for substantially reducing complexity and signaling overhead, while adapting to carrier-aggregated systems. Performance evaluation under 3GPP LTE-Advanced environment shows PAPR reduction advantage of the proposed method while not requiring any signaling overhead.
