Abstract:
High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is one of the vital degrading factors for the performance of communication systems. In this paper, a new PAPR reduction technique called successive reduction of PAPR (SRP) is introduced. It uses a novel approach that high PAPR may be caused by the characteristics of inverse fast Fourier transform operation. Performance and complexity analysis of the SRP method is also investigated.
