Partial Transmit Sequence PAPR Reduction Method for LTE OFDM Systems

This paper reviews orthogonal frequency division multiple (OFDM) which has been adopted as a standard for various high data rate wireless communication systems. However, implementation of the OFDM system entails several difficulties. One of the major drawbacks is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which cause large number of sub-carriers, that make restrictions for practical applications. Block Coding, partial transmit sequence and clipping are some PAPR reduction methods that have been proposed to overcome this problem. In this paper, we mainly investigate the PAPR reduction performance using PTS, this method is sub-entities of phase rotation scheme. A new algorithm using PTS technique which shows better PAPR reduction compared to the existing algorithms is proposed. Results are verified using MATLAB software.
