Improved SLM algorithm for PAPR reduction in OFDM system by Ce JI, Wenjing ZHU, Ying WEI, Dianxia JIA

“…In order to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the conventional selective mapping (SLM) algorithm,decrease the transmission of side-band information,and improve the spectral efficiency in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system,the TL-SLM algorithm based on the conversion matrix and the chaotic sequence was proposed firstly.Although the TL-SLM algorithm could effectively decrease the transmission of side-band information,the reduction of PA P R was limited.To solve this problem,an improved TL-SLM algorithm based on the rotation vector was proposed,which was the TR-SLM algorithm.TR-SLM algorithm introduced the rotation vector to generate more time-domain alternative signals to further reducing the PA P R.The performance analysis shows that although the TL-SLM algorithm and the TR-SLM algorithm increase the complexity a little,the PA P R performance is effectively improved and the transmission of side-band information is greatly reduced.…”

Preprocessing optimization algorithm based on partial channel information feedback in wideband OFDM systems by WANG Xia1, ZHANG Guo-mei1, XUE Tao2

“…To mitigate inter-block interference（IBI） and inter-carrier interference（ICI） in an orthogonal frequency divi-sion multiplexing（OFDM） system,pre-processing approaches at transmitters based on full channel state information（CSI） had been proposed,the performance improved and receiver simplied.However,feeding full CSI back would oc-cupy scarce bandwidth and was impractical sometimes for the systems with high real-time demand.To deal with this problem,a preprocessing optimization based on partial CSI feedback was investigated and three selected preprocessing approaches of optimization matrix were developed and tested.Computer simulation results showed that the proposed op-timization algorithm can effectively cancel IBI and ICI and significantly improve the performance in wideband OFDM systems.Compared with the pre-processing approaches at transmitters based on full CSI,under the condition of meeting the demand for quality of services（QoS）,the proposed scheme has high spectral efficiency and low feedback and com-putation complexity.…”
