Universal Filter Multi-Carrier (UFMC) modulation is a potential candidate for next generation wireless communication due to its advantages like better sub carrier separation and less complexity. Higher peak to average power ratio (PAPR) affects the performance of UFMC and suitable PAPR reduction technique is required to mitigate the same. In this work, an improved PAPR reduction technique (CFC-UFMC) has been proposed for UFMC system. Performance of proposed technique is compared with existing Selective Mapping (SLM), Clipping, Companding and Clipping & Filtering methods as applied on UFMC. Simulation results show that proposed technique provides better PAPR reduction with variation in design parameters namely FFT Size, Filter Length and Bits per sub carrier as compared with other techniques. Various PAPR reduction techniques have also been compared on the basis of bit error rate.
