A new selected mapping scheme for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems

In this paper, a new SLM scheme for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. This scheme is special case of selected mapping (SLM) scheme. The proposed SLM scheme generates alternative OFDM signal sequences by exploiting the intermediate OFDM signal sequence in inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). By using this technique, the proposed SLM scheme achieves similar PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity and no bit error rate (BER) degradation. the performance of the proposed SLM scheme is verified through the simulations.
