New SLM scheme to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signals using a genetic algorithm

초록

Selected mapping (SLM) is a popular peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction technique suitable for use in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems as it achieves good PAPR reduction performance without signal distortion. However, SLM requires a bank of inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs) to produce candidate signals, resulting in high computational complexity. In this paper, we introduce a novel SLM technique based on conversion matrices (CM) and a genetic algorithm (GA) that requires only one IFFT module. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method obtains desirable PAPR reduction performance with low computational complexity. © 2016 The Korean Institute of Communications Information Sciences
