Tone Reservation Technique Based on Peak-Windowing Residual Noise for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) may be reduced by reserving several tones to generate a peak-canceling signal (PCS). However, this method suffers from high computational complexity. To address this problem, this paper proposes an algorithm based on peak-windowing residual noise, which is generated by windowing the signal samples that exceed the predetermined threshold. Filtering the residual noise to satisfy tone reservation (TR) constraints and scaling with a scaling factor determined to minimize the out-of-range power generates the PCS. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve 6.9-dB PAPR reduction with much lower complexity than other schemes.
