A Survey on the Envelope Fluctuations of DFT Precoded OFDMA Signals

Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) preceding is a promising approach for reduction of the envelope fluctuations of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signals. However, the envelope fluctuations of DFT precoded OFDMA signals strongly depend on the subcarrier allocation used. In this work, the envelope fluctuations of DFT precoded OFDMA signals with different subcarrier allocations are analyzed based on various metrics. The mutual dependency of the metrics is addressed and a set of suitable metrics for the design of appropriate DFT precoded OFDMA solutions for the uplink of future mobile radio systems is proposed. New results for oversampled signals considering pulse shaping and windowing are presented and analyzed.
