PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals Using Partial Transmit Sequences and Reed-Muller Codes

This letter proposes a modified PTS technique using binary Reed-Muller (RM) codes for error correction and PAPR control in BPSK OFDM systems. A RM code is divided into the direct sum of a correcting subcode for encoding information bits and a scrambling subcode for encoding PAPR bits. The transmitted signal of the resulting OFDM sequence is selected with minimum PAPR from a number of candidates which are codewords of a coset of the scrambling subcode. We consider the RM codes in natural and cyclic orderings. Numerical results show that RM codes in cyclic ordering achieve better performance in PAPR reduction than RM codes in natural ordering.
