Generalized interior-point method for constrained peak power minimization of OFDM signals

In this paper we present two results on reducing the peak power of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols via constellation extension (CE). The first result is a derivation of the interior-point method (IPM) algorithm needed to find the optimal distortion set, where the distortion is constrained by convex functions. Next we optimize the parameters of a hybrid CE constraint set to minimize the BER. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the findings.
