Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of digital communications and in particular, to a method of reducing PAPR in multi-carrier signals.
  • Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is a bandwidth efficient multicarrier transmission technique for digital communications.
  • the fundamental principle of OFDM is to spread the data to be transmitted over a large number of subcarriers, where each subcarrier is modulated with a much lower data rate stream and the subcarriers are made orthogonal to each other.
  • OFDM Fast Fourier Transforms
  • OFDM has several advantages over single carrier systems in that OFDM is more robust to multipath induced intersymbol interference (ISI) and has high spectral efficiency. Despite these advantages, OFDM has some disadvantages that need to be addressed for its successful implementation.
  • a major disadvantage of OFDM is that it generates signals with large amplitude variations. This problem is known as the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem, which degrades system performance, reduces the efficiency of the high power amplifier (HPA) and also limits the dynamic range of the analogue-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analogue (D/ A) converters. These negative effects may outweigh all the potential benefits of OFDM transmission systems in many low-cost applications.
  • PAPR reduction techniques have been proposed during the last decade. These broadly fall into three areas, namely, signal distortion techniques, symbol scrambling techniques and coding techniques.
  • Signal distortion techniques are the most straightforward PAPR reduction methods. These techniques simply reduce or clip the high peak amplitudes of Hie OFDM before transmission. In general, these techniques do not require side information for recovering the transmitted sequence at the receiver. Another advantage of these techniques is their simplicity and low complexity. However, there are several disadvantages of these techniques which make these techniques less preferable than others. Firstly, these techniques introduce distortion noise which reduces the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Secondly, some of these techniques introduce spectrum distortion (spectral regrowth) of the signal. The simplest example of a signal distortion technique is deliberate clipping, where peaks above a certain threshold are clipped.
  • Symbol scrambling techniques are a large group of distortionless techniques for reducing PAPR.
  • the basic idea of symbol scrambling is to generate a set of statistically independent OFDM symbols by scrambling the data sequence and selecting the OFDM symbol with smallest PAPR for transmission.
  • One of the most widely referred and studied symbol scrambling technique is selective mapping (SLM).
  • SLM selective mapping
  • the basic idea of this technique is to generate a set of independent candidate data blocks, all representing the original data block and selecting the candidate data block which gives the lowest PAPR for transmission.
  • the receiver has to know which candidate data block was used, which requires sending of side information along with the transmitted signal. Thus it is very important for the receiver to receive the side information correctly, since an error in the side information will result in losing the whole information block.
  • the two previous techniques discussed only focus on the reduction of the PAPR of the OFDM signal.
  • the third broad approach used is coding, which is another distortionless technique which not only reduces PAPR but also corrects errors.
  • coding techniques do not require the transmission of side information to the receiver. Further, the error correcting capability of this technique also improves the BER performance.
  • coding techniques typically significantly reduce the information rate of the system.
  • the basic approach to coding is to avoid transmitting codewords with high PAPR.
  • the simplest approach is to simply use a coding technique that excludes sequences with high PAPR such as one that maps sequence of length k to a sequence of length n, where the mapped sequence has a PAPR below some threshold.
  • An alternative coding approach is to transpose a code set to an equivalent code set in terms of error correction properties, but with reduced PAPR. The whole code set is transposed using an offset vector where the optimum offset vector corresponds to the vector with the minimum PAPR possible for the set.
  • the main advantage of this technique is that it provides both error correction and PAPR reduction. However, finding good codes and their offsets is very difficult and requires extensive calculations.
  • a method for reducing the peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of an error coded signal having a bit sequence comprising: introducing at least one error in the error coded signal, such that the PAPR of the error coded signal with the introduced at least one error is less than the PAPR of the error coded signal.
  • PAPR peak-to-average-power ratio
  • a method wherein the step of introducing the at least one error comprises flipping at least one bit of the bit sequence.
  • a method further comprising determining which of the one or more bits to flip by calculating a PAPR contribution of the one or more bits and flipping the one or more bits that contribute the greatest PAPR to the signal.
  • a method further comprising flipping one or more bits until the PAPR does not reduce any further.
  • a method further comprising flipping one or more bits until the PAPR of the signal becomes equal to or less than a predetermined PAPR threshold.
  • a method wherein the step of calculating the PAPR contribution of the one or more bits comprises:
  • a method wherein the side information comprises information identifying to the receiver, the location of at least one of the one or more bits flipped.
  • a method wherein the error coded signal is coded with an error code that is not correctable by a receiver and wherein side information is transmitted to the receiver to allow the receiver to correct the error coded signal.
  • a method further comprising error coding an input signal with an error code to produce the error coded signal.
  • a method wherein the error code is a block code.
  • a method wherein the error code is a convolution code. In another aspect of the invention, a method wherein the error code is a trellis code.

  • PAPR reduction techniques have been proposed during the last few years. Most of these techniques can be broadly divided into three categories. These are signal distortion techniques, symbol scrambling techniques and coding techniques. In this section, a review of some of the most common signal distortion and symbol scrambling techniques are reviewed. A discussion of the coding techniques will be presented in the next section.
  • Signal distortion techniques are the most straightforward PAPR reduction methods. These techniques simply reduce or clip the high peak amplitudes of the OFDM before transmission. In general, these techniques do not require side information to recover the transmitted sequence at the receiver. Another advantage of these techniques is their simplicity and low complexity. However, there are several disadvantages which make these techniques less preferable than others. Firstly, signal distortion techniques introduce distortion noise which reduces the BER performance of the system. Secondly, some of these techniques introduce spectrum distortion (spectral regrowth) of the signal. The simplest distortion technique is clipping [28-31], where the peaks are clipped above a certain threshold z, according to:
  • the peak windowing approach is more spectrally efficient.
  • a window is applied to the region where there exist large peaks.
  • the signal is multiplied by the window function in such a way that the signal peaks fall at the center of the window.
  • window functions There are several window functions that could be used. The most common window functions are Hamming and Kaiser windows.
  • Companding technique [36] is another important distortion technique for reducing PAPR.
  • the companding technique (which refers to compressing and expanding) was initially used to expand the dynamic range of D/A converters. This technique was later adopted for PAPR reduction in OFDM signals.
  • Companding uses a compressing function F(-) at the transmitter. This function is applied to signal x before transmission, so that the dynamic range of the compressed signal F(x) is less than the input signal x.
  • F(-) Upon receiving the signal y, the receiver attempts to approximate the transmitted signal x, by applying an expanding function (i.e. F "1 ⁇ )) on the received signal y.
  • x F ⁇ 1 (y).
  • Companding has similar drawbacks as the amplitude clipping technique.
  • symbol scrambling is to generate a set of statistically independent OFDM symbols, by scrambling the data sequence and selecting the OFDM symbol with the smallest PAPR for transmission. While there exists a number of scrambling techniques [14, 37-39], the selective mapping (SLM) [38] and the partial transmit sequences (PTS) [39] are the most cited and studied techniques. These two techniques are quite similar in many ways. The main difference between these techniques is that the SLM applies an independent rotation to each subcarrier, while the PTS applies a scrambling sequence to a group of subcarriers.

  • the complexity of this technique increases exponentially with M and L Similar to SLM scheme, this technique also requires perfect side information to recover the transmitted signal correctly. The side information allows the receiver to distinguish £ M different mappings. This would require up to M log 2 £ bits.

  • PAPR codes are constructed by selecting a set of words which have low PAPR properties. Codes constructed in this manner always face a fundamental tradeoff between PAPR and code rate. If a word has low PAPR, it is likely that its neighbouring words too will have relatively low PAPR values. A code with good PAPR reduction properties can be constructed using these words. However, for the code to correct errors, adequate distance between the words has to be maintained. Chapter 5: Joint Error Correction and PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals
