This paper is concerned with the performance improvement of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in interleaved mode of discrete cosine transform based single carrier frequency division multiple access (DCT-SCFDMA) using a combined technique of pulse shaping with a nonlinear companding process. This proposed scheme is based on the modified hyperbolic tangent transform which can compress the large signals and enlarge the small signals while keeping the average power invariant. Simulation results show that the proposed methodology markedly reduces the PAPR value and enhances the bit error rate (BER) performance.
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.
