Abstract

Partial transmit sequence(PTS) scheme has been widely studied to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) of Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OFDM) signal since it is flexible ad any spectral regrowth is not made. A necessity of the PTS scheme is to transmit the side information about the phase rotation factors for correct OFDM symbol recovery. In this paper, a new side information embedded PTS scheme using the reference symbols is proposed fur the PAPR reduction and the BER(bit error rate) performance is analyzed when the erroneous side information is received. In this proposed method, the information about the rotation factors is expressed by the phase of reference symbols. The proposed method maintains the same PAPR reduction performance as the conventional PTS scheme and OFDM symbols are correctly recovered by the side information to meet the required BER level, which is verified via the computer simulation. Also, it is shown that the proposed method can be easily realized and can be used for all kinds of digital modulation formats in the OFDM communication system.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OFDM)은 무선 환경에서 고속 데이터 전송에 적합한 방식이다. 그러나 높은 peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)로 인하여 비선형 왜곡의 문제점이 있다. 여러 PAPR 저감 방법 중에서 partial transmit sequences(PTS)는 매우 유연하고 스펙트럼 왜곡이 발생하지 않는 좋은 방법으로 평가된다. 이 방법의 문제점은 최적화된 rotation factor에 대한 부가 정보를 수신기에 전송해야만 데이터를 정확히 복원할 수 있다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 PTS 방식에서 기준 심볼을 이용하여 부가 정보를 전송하는 기법을 새롭게 제안한다. 이 기법은 rotation factors의 정보를 기준 심볼의 위상으로 표현하는 방법이다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안 방식이 종전의 PTS와 동일한 PAPR 저감 성능을 가지면서 정확하게 데이터를 복원하여 요구 BER이 만족됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안 방식은 변조 방식에 무관하며, 간단하게 시스템을 구현할 수 있다.
