Abstract

In order to improve PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) reduction performance of the conventional SLM (Selective Mapping) for OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals, we propose an effective SLM-PRSC (PAPR Reduction Sub-Carrier) hybrid scheme. In the proposed scheme, after performing the SLM for the frequency domain OFDM symbol excluding pre-determined PRSC positions, the SLM-PRSC hybrid sequence with the lowest PAPR generated by adding the time domain PRSC sequence to the results of the SLM, is selected as the transmitted OFDM signal. Since the identical PRSC sequences generated a priori are repeatedly used for every OFDM symbol, excessive IFFT (inverse Fast Fourier Transform) calculation is avoided. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the PAPR reduction performance of the conventional SLM, while avoiding excessive increase of IFFT calculation and the overhead for the SLM.

본 논문에서는 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호의 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) 감소를 위한 기존 SLM (SeLective Mapping) 방식의 성능을 개선하는 효과적인 SLM-PRSC 결합 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 지정된 PRSC (PAPR Reduction Sub-Carrier) 위치를 제외한 주파수 영역 OFDM 심벌에 대해 SLM을 수행한 후, 그 결과들을 시간 영역 PRSC 시퀀스들과 결합하여 가장 낮은 PAPR을 갖는 SLM-PRSC 결합 시퀀스를 최종 OFDM 심벌로 결정하게 된다. 특히 매 OFDM 심벌마다 미리 준비된 동일한 시간 영역 PRSC 시퀀스를 이용하게 되어 IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) 연산 횟수의 증가를 방지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 선택된 주파수 영역 PRSC 심벌은 SLM용 오버헤드로 사용 가능하다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 SLM-PRSC 결합 기법은 기존의 SLM 방식과 비교하여 과도한 IFFT 연산 횟수의 증가와 별도의 오버헤드가 요구되지 않음에도 불구하고 PAPR 감소 성능을 크게 향상 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
