Abstract

OFDM communications system is very attractive for the high data rate wireless transmission. However, it may be distorted in the nonlinear HPA since OFDM signal has high PAPR. So, a new SLM method using dummy sequence is studied for reducing the PAPR, and we call it DSI-SLM method. Unlike the conventional SLM method using the phase rotation, dummy sequences for PAPR reduction are assigned at the predefined sub-carriers. After IFFT, the OFDM data signal of the lowest PAPR is selected to transmit. So, it can cut down the computational complexity because it does not require the transmission and demodulation process of side information about the phase rotation. This proposed method can solve the time delay problem so that PAPR reduction can be made in real time processing.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 통신 시스템은 고속 무선 데이터 전송에 적합한 방식으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 높은 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio)로 인하여 HPA(high power amplifier)에서 큰 비선형 왜곡을 겪는 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 높은 PAPR을 저감하는 방법으로 더미 시퀀스(dummy sequence)를 삽입하는 새로운 SLM (selective mapping)방식을 제안하며, 이를 DSI-SLM기법이라 하기로 한다. 제안된DSI-SLM 기법은 각 브랜치(branch)에서 일정비율의 부반송파에 각기 다른 더미 시퀀스를 인가하고 IFFT(inverse Fourier transform) 후 가장 낮은 PAPR을 갖는 브랜치의 데이터를 전송한다. 이 방식에 사용된 더미 시퀀스는 송신단에서 PAPR 저감만을 위해 사용될 뿐 수신단에서의 데이터 복원 과정에는 필요로 하지 않으므로, 기존의 SLM및 PTS에서 나타나는 부가정보 전송의 필수성과 같은 단점을 해결하면서 실시간 데이터 처리를 가능케 한다.
