OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a widely used modulation technique in many standards such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and 4 G. It allows for high transmission data rates and excellent spectral efficiency. However, one of the main limitations of OFDM is its high PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). In this paper, we will first describe some methods to reduce the PAPR associated with OFDM signal. We will discuss some methods such as the clipping, the Selective mapping SLM, the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS), and the Tone Reservation (TR). Let's list their advantages and disadvantages before focusing on the TR method which we will detail. This work aims to improve the performance of the TR method in terms of speed of convergence and reduction of the PAPR, using the conjugate different algorithms while respecting the frequency specifications of the IEEE 802.11a standard. The proposed algorithm which is based on the gradient method, Conjugate gradient methods, and Quasi-Newton method shows good performance regarding PAPR reduction and speed of convergence. The choice of an appropriate technique depends on several factors: required PAPR reduction, acceptable complexity, and performances (spectral efficiency, latency, etc.). A trade-off must be found in practice between these different criteria. It has been shown that the Quasi-Newton method algorithm with its two variants converges more quickly.
