A New Blind SLM Scheme with Low Complexity of OFDM Signals

In this paper, we propose a new blind SLM scheme with low complexity using m-sequence as a phase sequence in OFDM. The proposed scheme significantly reduces the compu- tational complexity for searching the side information of the phase sequence and decoding the alternative symbol sequence at the receiver. After generating alternative symbol sequences using a set of phase sequences, the side information for each alternative symbol sequence is embedded in it through block partitioning and phase rotation. The proposed method does not need additional inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and has the same PAPR reduction performance compared to the conventional SLM scheme. In order to find the side information, a maximum likelihood (ML) decoder with lower complexity is derived, which guarantees lower detection failure probability of side information compared to the conventional blind SLM scheme.
