Abstract

We propose an ATR (Adaptive Tone Reservation) scheme based on clipping noise for PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) reduction of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals. The proposed scheme is composed of three steps: clipping, tone selection, and TR procedures. In the first step, the peak samples in the IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) outputs are scaled down by clipping. In the second step, the sub-carrier position where the power of the clipping noise is the maximum, is selected. Finally, the generic TR procedure is performed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme does not require all the possible combinations for the original TR procedures, while maintaining the PAPR reduction performance.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송 신호의 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 클리핑 잡음 (Clipping Noise)을 이용한 적응적 톤 삽입 (Adaptive Tone Reservation; ATR) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 ATR 기법은 기존 TR 방법에서의 복잡도 문제를 개선하기 위해, IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) 출력 가운데 임계 진폭값 보다 큰 신호들을 클리핑 하는 과정, 클리핑된 신호에 대해 클리핑 잡음을 계산 후 주파수 영역 클리핑 잡음의 심벌 중에서 가장 큰 전력이 할당된 톤을 추출하는 과정, 추출된 톤을 예약하여 PAPR을 감소하는 과정의 총 3단계로 구성된다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 ATR 기법은 톤 예약이 가능한 최적의 톤을 클리핑 잡음을 이용하여 추출함으로써 기존 TR 방법의 계산량을 획기적으로 줄이면서도 성능이 최적의 TR 방법에 근접한 것을 보여준다.
