ABSTRACT One of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signal. Tone injection (TI) technique is a promising candidate for the reduction of the PAPR of an OFDM signal. But this technique requires the increase of the transmit signal power because of the injected signal. In this paper, we propose the use of hexagonal constellation as a method to achieve PAPR reduction without increasing signal power in the TI technique

##### Article: PAPR reduction of OFDM signals using a reduced complexity PTS technique
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique can improve the PAPR statistics of OFDM signals. In the PTS technique, the data block to be transmitted is partitioned into disjoint subblocks and the subblocks are combined using phase factors to minimize PAPR. As ordinary PTS technique requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase factors, the search complexity increases exponentially with the number of subblocks. In the proposed technique, a gradient descent search is performed to find the phase factors. It is shown that the proposed technique achieves significant reduction in search complexity with little performance degradation.

##### Article: An overview of peak-to-average power ratio reduction techniques for multicarrier transmission
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High peak-to-average power ratio of the transmit signal is a major drawback of multicarrier transmission such as OFDM or DMT. This article describes some of the important PAPR reduction techniques for multicarrier transmission including amplitude clipping and filtering, coding, partial transmit sequence, selected mapping, interleaving, tone reservation, tone injection, and active constellation extension. Also, we make some remarks on the criteria for PAPR reduction technique selection and briefly address the problem of PAPR reduction in OFDMA and MIMO-OFDM.

[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique for achieving high-bit-rate wireless data transmission. However, the potentially large peak-to-average power ratio (PAP) has limited its application. Recently, two promising techniques for improving the PAP statistics of an OFDM signal have been proposed: the selective mapping and partial transmit sequence approaches. Here, we present suboptimal strategies for combining partial transmit sequences that achieve similar performance but with reduced complexity.
