One of major drawbacks of transform domain communication system (TDCS) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. A novel method named magnitude weighting selection (MWS) for PAPR reduction in TDCS is proposed. The method is based on multiplying used subcarriers by magnitude weights which are determined by the modified backtracking search optimisation algorithm. The MWS algorithm can significantly reduce the computational complexity with a low PAPR. Furthermore, it guarantees the normality of transmission signals and reduces the multipleuser interference. Analytic and simulation results demonstrate that the MWS method makes a good tradeoff between PAPR reduction and bit error rate degradation in a specified magnitude weighting range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
