The Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Problem

It is plausible that the OFDM signal - which is the superposition of a high number of modulated subchannel signals – may exhibit a high instantaneous signal peak with respect to the average signal level.

An OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, which can give a large peak-to-average power (PAP) ratio.

High peak-to-average power ratio Problem 1. It increased complexity of the analog-to-

digital and digital-to-analog converters Problem 2. It reduced efficiency of the RF power

amplifier The PAPR puts a stringent requirement on the power

amplifier and reduces the efficiency in the sense that a higher input backoff factor is needed before the peaks in the signal experience significant distortion due to power amplifier nonlinearity.

The Peak-to-Average Power Ratio

If all the subcarrier are modulated by phase-shift keying (PSK), the theoretical upper bound of the PAPR in OFDM signals with N subcarriers is N.

For example It can be shown that for an M-ary PSK OFDM system,

there are at most patterns that yield the highest PAPR, namely, N.

OFDM Signal Amplitude Statistics

The time domain OFDM signal is constituted by the sum of complex exponential functions, whose amplitudes and phases are determined by the data symbols transmitted over the different carriers.

Assuming random data symbols, the resulting time domain signal exhibits an amplitude probability density function (PDF) approaching the two-dimensional or complex Gaussian distribution for a high number of subcarriers.

Figure listed below explicitly shows that the measured amplitude histogram of the (a) in-phase component/Quadrature component and (b) amplitude of the a 256-subcarrier OFDM signal obeys a (a) Gaussian distribution and (b) Rayleigh distribution with a standard deviation of .

OFDM Signal Amplitude Statistics

The observed amplitude histogram of the 256-subcarrier OFDM signal is correspond to Rayleigh distribution.

Note that the standard deviation of the probability density function is independent of the number of subcarriers employed, since the mean power of the signal is normalized to 1.

The Distribution of The Peak-to-Average Power Ratio

For one OFDM symbol with N subcarrier, the complex baseband signal can be written as

For large N, the real and imaginary values of become Gaussian distributed, each with a mean of zero and a variance ½.

The amplitude of the OFDM signal therefore has a Rayleigh distribution, while the power distribution becomes a central chi-square distribution given by

Clipping and Peak Window

Clipping the signal The simplest way to reduce the PAPR The peak amplitude becomes limited to some desired

level By distorting the OFDM signal amplitude, a kind of self-

interference is introduced that degrades the BER. Nonlinear distortion increases out-of-band radiation

Peak windowing To remedy the out-of-band problem of clipping To multiply large signal peaks by nonrectangular window To minimize the out-of-band interference, ideally the

window should be as narrowband as possible. The windows should not be too long in the time domain,

because that implies that many signal samples as affected, which increases the BER.

Peak Cancellation

The undesired effect of nonlinear distortion can be avoided by doing a linear peak cancellation technique, whereby a time-shifted and scaled reference function is subtracted from the signal, such that each subtracted reference function reduced the peak power of the least one signal sample.

By selecting an appropriate reference function with approximately the same bandwidth as the transmitted signal, it can be assured that the peak power reduction does not cause any out-of-band interference.

Peak cancellation can be done digitally after generation of the digital OFDM symbols.

Peak Cancellation

It is also possible to do the cancellation immediately after the IFFT that is done on a symbol-by-symbol basis.

An efficient way to generate the cancellation signal without using a stored reference function is to use a lowpass filter in the frequency domain.

Golay complementary sequence Golay complementary sequences are sequence pairs for w

hich the sum of auto-correlation function is zero for all delay shifts unequal to zero.

The correlation properties of complementary sequences translate

into a relatively small PAPR of 3 dB when the codes are used to modulate an OFDM signal.

PAP Reduction Codes Linear block code

Linear block code[17,18] A block coding scheme provides error correction

capability, and also achieves the minimum PAPR for the OFDM system utilizing QPSK modulation and 4 subcarriers.

Block coding approach : by selecting only those codewords with small PAPR. Well-designed block codes provide error correction capability.

Symbol Scrambling

The basic idea of symbol scrambling is that for each OFDM symbol, the input sequence is scrambled by a certain number of scrambling sequence, and the output signal is transmitted with the smallest PAPR.

Symbol scrambling techniques Adaptive subcarrier selection

With the subcarrier allocation scheme

Selected Mapping (SLM) The transmitter selects one favorable transmit signal from a set of sufficiently

different signals which all represent the same information.

Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) The transmitter constructs its transmit signal with low PAR by coordinated

addition of appropriately phase rotated signal parts.

The difference between SLM and PTS is that the first applies independent scrambling rotations to all subcarriers, while the latter only applies scrambling rotations to group of subcarriers.
