Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction of FBMC / OQAM Signal Using a Joint Optimization Scheme

Owing to the signal structure difference between the filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) and the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the existing technologies to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) for OFDM systems are not suitable for the FBMC/OQAM systems. This paper considers the problem of PAPR in the FBMC/OQAM systems, and to reduce the PAPR of the FBMC/OQAM signal, we propose an improved joint optimization scheme combined with the linear (i.e., partial transmit sequence (PTS)) and nonlinear (i.e., clipping and filtering (CF)) methods, named improved bilayer partial transmit sequence and iterative clipping and filtering (IBPTS-ICF) scheme. The main idea of this joint optimization scheme is clipping and filtering the processed FBMC/OQAM signal, whose probability of the peak value has been reduced by the IBPTS technique. Meanwhile, aided by the knowledge of convex optimization, the IBPTS-ICF joint optimization scheme can effectively reduce the signal distortion. The excellent PAPR reduction performance of the proposed scheme has been confirmed in our simulations.
