Selective Mapping scheme based on Modified Forest Optimization Algorithm for PAPR reduction in FBMC system

Abstract

Filter Bank Multicarrier(FBMC)is considered as one of the most standardized waveform for fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system application FBMC endures lot of nonlinear effects which occurs because of high Peak Average Power Ratio (PAPR). High value of PAPR due to the large dynamic range of multicarrier signal is one of the most significant issues in FBMC multicarrier based modulation technique. This paper presents one investigated PAPR reduction technique named as Selected Mapping (SLM) to minimize high PAPR by utilizing the complex signal divide into real and imaginary parts and then select minimum PAPR signal based on Modified Forest Optimization Algorithm (MFOA)to achieve good PAPR which can maintain the FBMC based system performance with a required Bit Error Rate (BER). The associated method was produced with the aim of optimize the phase factors so that the phase rotation operation is accomplished to minimize PAPR by fixing the MFOA into the conventional SLM. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique gives better performance in terms of BER and PAPR compared to other SLM based optimization techniques.
