High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signals is a major drawback in Multicarrier modulation (MCM) systems. Companding transform is a well-known method to reduce the PAPR without restrictions on system parameters such as the number of subcarriers, frame format and constellation type. In this paper, a novel adaptive companding scheme, mainly focuses on compressing the large signals into the desirable distribution, is proposed to reduce the PAPR with low implementation complexity. In addition, formulas to calculate its PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance are also derived. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can achieve an effective tradeoff between PAPR reduction and BER performance by carefully choosing the companding parameter.

Wavelet packet modulation (WPM) is a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique that has emerged as a potential alternative to the widely used orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) method. Because WPM has overlapped symbols, equalization cannot rely on the use of the cyclic prefix (CP), which is used in OFDM. This study applies linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization in the time domain instead of in the frequency domain to achieve low computational complexity. With a modest equalizer filter length, the imperfection of MMSE equalization results in subcarrier attenuation and noise amplification, which are considered in the development of a bit-loading algorithm. Analytical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) performance are derived and validated using simulation results. A performance evaluation is carried out in different test scenarios as per Recommendation ITU-R M.1225. Numerical results show that WPM with equalization-aware bit loading outperforms OFDM with bit loading. Because previous comparisons between WPM and OFDM did not include bit loading, the results obtained provide additional evidence of the benefits of WPM over OFDM.

Tone Injection (TI) scheme significantly reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of Multicarrier Modulation (MCM). However, the computational complexity of the TI scheme rises exponentially with the extra freedom constellation number. Therefore, a novel immune evolutionary mechanism-based TI scheme is proposed in this paper to reduce the computational complexity. By restraining undesirable degeneracy during the processing, this IEM scheme can dramatically increase the population fitness. Monte Carlo results show that proposed IEM-based TI scheme can achieve a significant PAPR and BER improvement with a low complexity.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation(MCM) system that enables high-speed communications using multiple carriers and has advantages of power and spectral efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to complement the existing shortcomings and to design an efficient MCM system. The proposed system uses the inverse discrete wavelet transform(IDWT) operation instead of the inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT) operation. The bit error rate(BER), spectral efficiency, and peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) performance were compared with the conventional OFDM system through the OFDM system design based on wavelet transform. Our results showed that the conventional OFDM and Wavelet-OFDM exhibited the same BER performance, and that the Wavelet-OFDM using the discrete Meyer wavelet had the same spectral efficiency as the conventional OFDM. In addition, all systems of Wavelet-OFDM based on various wavelets confirm a PAPR performance lower than that of conventional OFDM.

The filter bank multicarrier modulation (FBMC) technique is one of multicarrier modulation technique (MCM), which is mainly used to improve channel capacity of cognitive radio (CR) network and frequency spectrum access technique. The existing FBMC System contains serial to parallel converter, normal QAM modulation, Radix2 inverse FFT, parallel to serial converter and poly phase filter. It needs high area, delay and power consumption. To further reduce the area, delay and power of FBMC structure, a new clock gating technique is applied in the QAM modulation, radix2 multipath delay commutator (R2MDC) based inverse FFT and unified addition and subtraction (UAS) based FIR filter with parallel asynchronous self time adder (PASTA). The clock gating technique is mainly used to reduce the unwanted clock switching activity. The clock gating is nothing but clock signal of flip-flops is controlled by gate (i.e.) AND gate. Hence speed is high and power consumption is low. The comparison between existing QAM and proposed QAM with clock gating technique is carried out to analyze the results. Conversely, the proposed inverse R2MDC FFT with clock gating technique is compared with the existing radix2 inverse FFT. Also the comparison between existing poly phase filter and proposed UAS based FIR filter with PASTA adder is carried out to analyze the performance, area and power consumption individually. The proposed FBMC with clock gating technique offers low power and high speed than the existing FBMC structures.

In this paper, we design the nonoverlapping multicarrier modulation (MCM) system for high rate paging system and evaluate the Performance by computer simulation. In conventional paging system, FSK was usually used, but we select QAM for high bandwidth efficiency. Transmitter structure adopts that of 4-16QAM of the iDEN$\^$TM/ and receiver consists of symbol timing recovery, carrier recovery and automatic gain control. In addition, pilot symbol aided modulation (PSAM) which can overcome the simulcast fading channel is considered and we also propose the optimum pilot symbol pattern. Finally, we show the performance of the overall 4-16QAM system by computer simulation.
