Improving Wireless Communication OFDM systems based on image processing

Visible light communication (VLC) is a technology that is currently being employed to achieve high data rates. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a powerful scheme for intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) that is becoming increasingly important. OFDM systems based on VLC are accomplished through the implementation of IM-DD constraints, including direct current biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM), asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM), and asymmetrically clipped DC-biased (ADO-OFDM), among others. The OFDM technique based on VLC is inefficient in terms of spectral efficiency and has a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). In this article, the symbol time compression-image adjust (STC-IMADJS) technique will be proposed for throughput maximization and PAPR reduction in the DCO-OFDM, ACO-OFDM, and ADO-OFDM systems. Furthermore, the STC technique enables the simultaneous transmission of two sub-carriers through Walsh spreading codes without inference between them. As a result, the OFDM symbol has been reduced by 50%. The IMADJS strategy reduces the high PAPR of transmitted signals by compressing large signals and expanding small signals, as long as the average power level remains constant after compression. Therefore, the proposed STC-IMADJS technique doubles the throughput as well as significantly reduces the PAPR for OFDM systems based on VLC. The simulation results are performed using Matlab-2021a for 1024 sub-carriers. As a result, the simulation results show that the proposed technique reduces the PAPR by 3.7 dB (86%), 8.16 dB (93%), and 1.81 dB (20%) for DCO-OFDM, ACO-OFDM, and ADO-OFDM systems respectively. Furthermore, the technique has a significantly lower computational complexity than conventional OFDM systems based on VLC. Finally, the measures of performance through this article are bit error rate and complementary cumulative distribution function.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals have a generic problem of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which is defined as the ratio of the peak power to the average power of the OFDM signal. The drawback of the high PAPR is that the dynamic range of the power amplifiers (PA) & digital-to-analog (D/A) converters required during the transmission and reception of the signal is higher. As a result, the total cost of the transceiver increases, with reduced efficiency. This paper includes an idea of the PAPR constraint, along with the implementation and analysis of some specific algorithms for PAPR reduction of the OFDM signals. All the PAPR reduction algorithms are implemented and tested in the OFDM transceiver designed using Matlab. Analyzing some specific algorithms, we propose a novel algorithm by combining the subcarrier phase adjustment and linear combination of the time domain OFDM signals. Simulation results for a OFDM system employing Quadrature Amplitude Shift Keying (QASK) symbols and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) can achieve a PAPR reduction of 5 dB.

Multicarrier modulation technique also known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered to be the most rapidly growing technique for 4th Generation wireless communication system. Due to its high speed data rate and its ability of multipath fading channel robustness. OFDM becomes an attractive technique and it is widely adopted in many wireless communications system. OFDM signal carries its major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Out of band radiation and in band distortion produced due to its high PAPR. Mobile phone communication suffer severe drawback during its amplification. When OFDM employed a non linear Power Amplifier (PA), it produces the fluctuation in amplitude of OFDM signal. This paper discusses the method to overcome PAPR in terms of its performance by using improved clipping technique for PAPR reduction. This method is easy to implement and reduces the amount of PAPR by clipping the peak of the maximum power signal. We present an improved method for PARR reduction for reducing peak magnitude of OFDM signal. This scheme simultaneously minimizes the peak magnitude of PAPR in OFDM signal.

Using selected mapping (SLM), chaotic-binary (CB) sequences have been successfully applied to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. However, high computational complexity associated with the construction of CB sequences make them unattractive in practical system. This paper presents an alternative source of SLM sequences, namely Modified Shapiro-Rudin (MSR) sequences. Simulations compare PAPR reduction performance and computational complexity of MSR sequences over CB and conventional Shapiro-Rudin (SR) sequences. Results demonstrate that MSR sequences provide equivalent PAPR reduction to CB sequences but have the advantage of reduced computational complexity.

왈시-하다마다 변환(Walsh-Hadamard Transform, WHT)을 적용한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 변조방법은 시스템의 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 줄여주고, 시스템의 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능을 향상시키는 장점이 있다. 그러나 기존의 이러한 왈시-하다마다 변환에 기반한 OFDM 시스템은 여전히 비교적으로 높은 PAPR문제가 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 DGT(Data Grouping Technique)이라고 부르는 기술을 제안하고, 이 기술과 왈시-하다마다 변환 기술을 적용하여 PAPR을 더욱 줄여주는 OFDM 시스템을 설계한다. 제안한 DGT기술은 WHT-OFDM뿐만 아니라 일반 OFDM에서 PAPR을 줄여주는 방법들 중에서 큰 단점이 되는 부가정보(side information)가 성능에 대해 독립성을 가진다는 특징이 있다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 시스템의 유용성을 검사하고 성능을 검증하였다. The conventional OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation can be combined with WHT (Walsh-Hadamard Transform) to reduce PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) and improve BER (Bit Error Rate) performance. However, this WHT-based OFDM system still suffers a relatively high PAPR. Therefore, we suggest a new technique, called DGT (Data Grouping Technique) and design an OFDM system employing it and WHT to further decrease PAPR without the BER performance degradation. h salient property of DGT is the independence of the side information which is inherently a principal drawback of the well-known PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM system as well as WHT-based OFDM. The simulation programs have been also performed to verify the validity of the proposed system.

In wireless communication, parallel transmission of symbols using multi carriers is applied to achieve high efficiency in terms of throughput and better transmission quality. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the techniques for parallel transmission. In multipath environment the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is improved by introducing some kind of channel coding. Coded OFDM (COFDM) is the new candidate for application such as DAB and DVB-T due to its better performance in fading environment. However high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is a major demerit of OFDM system, it leads to increased complexity of circuit and reduced efficiency of RF amplifier. In this paper our aim is to evaluate the PAPR of COFDM system and reducing its effect by clipping, Selected Mapping (SLM) and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) techniques. COFDM system used here comply with IEEE 802.11a specifications and Reed Solomon (RS) codes along with convolution codes are used for channel coding purpose. Channel used for consideration is AWGN. The performance is evaluated in terms of PAPR value and BER.

One of the widely adopted multicarrier modulation technique in wireless communication system is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), because of its enhanced robustness against channel dispersion. However, Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) caused by time varying wireless channel and Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) due to the presence of a large number of subcarriers with varying amplitude are the critical issues faced in OFDM. One of the efficient ICI self-cancellation scheme is correlative precoder but it introduces increased PAPR. To overcome this shortcoming a new form of circulantly precoded OFDM system is implemented to enhance ICI reduce and also employed with Selective Mapping (SLM) which is effective in PAPR reduction and uncomplicated. BER performance of correlative and circulantly precoded OFDM system is evaluated for LMMSE and OLMMSE equalizers. Simulation results show that circulantly precoded OFDM with SLM can achieve jointly better ICI self cancellation and PAPR reduction than correlative precoding technique over time varying channel.

Requirement of high data rate by the modern mobile communication system requires a linear power amplifier with extremely low power consumption and long battery life. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique promises to deliver high data rate with simple receiver structure. It is more spectral efficient and has been recommended to be used by many standards. But it has one major disadvantage of having high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). High PAPR drives the power amplifier in saturation region and causes it to operate in nonlinear region with reduced efficiency. There are several techniques to reduce PAPR of OFDM system. In this paper we have done FPGA implementation of selective mapping method (SLM) for PAPR reduction for 4 QAM baseband signal for 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024 number of subcarriers. The result obtained have been compared with PAPR values obtained through mathematical analysis and Matlab simulations and also with original signal. For 1024 number of subcarriers at 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> of CCDF value the PAPR value obtained with hardware implementation is 9.8 dB which is 2.8 dB less form the original OFDM signal obtained without applying SLM technique but 0.9 dB higher than the Matlab simulated value. This technique is simple in implementation, utilizes less resources and is effective in PAPR reduction.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely implemented in high data rate wireless applications due to its favourable properties. The main disadvantage associated with OFDM is high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Although numerous schemes have been proposed to solve the PAPR problem, no specific PAPR reduction scheme can be considered as the best solution. The aim of this paper is to review the performance and effectiveness of the filtering technique as a PAPR reduction method focusing on the filter's performance. To achieve this, investigations are performed using various infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. The simulation results provide a clearer picture on the OFDM systems performance, with the two key areas of focus being peak power reduction and error performance.

A three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method for the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is presented. The transmit power of wireless nodes in an ad hoc network is strictly limited. Thus, high PAPR of the 3D OFDM system is a possible drawback when it is considered as a physical layer transmission scheme for the WSNs. Here, we propose an improved partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique to reduce PAPR of the OFDM system with 3D modulation formats. In the proposed algorithm, the components of 3D signals are assigned to different subblocks using a diagonal rule (DR), increasing randomness of the signals in the disjoint subblocks forcibly. As a result, the proposed method reduces PAPR of the 3D OFDM system significantly without increase in computational complexity. Hence, the proposed algorithm makes the 3D OFDM system be a possible candidate for a physical layer transmission scheme in future WSNs.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the advanced transmission scheme utilized in 4G. Nevertheless, it has several shortcomings like guard band, peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), high power consumption, incapable to accommodate various other devices (an IOT application). Hence, OFDM cannot be considered in 5G due to the several disadvantages mentioned above. Filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) is believed to be one of the most promising technologies which can be used in 5G. FBMC and OFDM are multi-carrier system. It is obvious that it agonizes from PAPR which hamper the efficiency of the system. The conventional peak reduction methods utilized in OFDM cannot be used in FBMC due to the overlapping structure of FBMC. In this work, a novel selective mapping (SLM) and partial transmit sequence (PTS) PAPR reduction technique is suggested for FBMC. The proposed techniques are implemented by using an elementary successive optimization technique that upsurge the PAPR performance and ensure the design difficulty is taken low. PAPR and bit error rate (BER) parameters are analyzed and simulated for the proposed and conventional PAPR reduction techniques. The simulation results show that the SLM and PTS accomplished an excellent PAPR reduction up to 2.8 and 4.8 dB as compared to other peak power minimization techniques.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique for wireless communications applications. However, one of the main disadvantages of OFDM is its high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) that limits transmitter power efficiency. Without any measures, the OFDM signal is limited by the power amplifier (in the transmitter) what causes interference both on the signal itself and in adjacent frequency bands. In this paper we formulate the reduction of the PAPR problem as a Second Order Cone Programming problem (convex optimization). We extend two known methods by choosing unused carriers in standards to minimize PAPR. The results are presented for the 802.11a standard. The proposed method induces no in-band distortion and stay compatible towards the IEEE 802.11a spectrum masking. Moreover, they don't need any side information and can be applied for real or complex OFDM baseband.

The technology has been growing rapidly in the form of portable wireless devices that can perform multiple functions to cope with the state-of-the-art technology and synchronization. A total device capacity must be increased to accommodate new wireless applications. This can be achieved by leveraging new technologies, with higher data rates. Spectrum pooling has gained immense popularity, with increased demand for frequency range and bandwidth availability constraints. Statistics suggest that much of the spectrum licensed is not used all the time. Because of the transmitter's nonlinearity nature, the large (peak to average power ratio (PAPR)) phenomenon is a drawback in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Several hybrid approaches have recently been implemented to minimize PAPR's high value, at the expense of increasing the level of computational complexity in the system. In this paper, a new hybrid approach has been introduced in parallel to combine the selective mapping approach (SLM) with the partial transmit sequence (PTS) approach to improve the efficiency of PAPR reduction with lower numerical method complexity. The findings reveal that the OFDM systems with the proposed hybrid approach have better efficiency in terms of PAPR elimination, side-information, and computational complexity compared to current hybrid methods. Also, a hybrid approach proposed output could be maintained without degradation. Index Terms: OFDM, PTS, PAPR, SLM

In this paper, a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme without side information (SI) is propossed. Cyclic-selective mapping (cyclic-SLM) has been applied to reduce the PAPR of a transmit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. The cyclic-SLM generates a signal candidate by combining an original signal and its cyclic shifted signal. The Cyclic SLM requires side information regarding the cyclic shift to recover the signal while it will reduce the throughput of a wireless OFDM system. The propossed scheme applies delayed correlation based estimation to omit the transmision of the SI. In the receiver side, the amount of the cyclic shift is estimated with exploiting the correlation between a guard interval sequence and a received signal. Numerical results show that the cyclic-SLM with the delayed correlation (DC) provides significant PAPR reduction while it realizes the accuracy of the shift estimation close to 100% at E_b/N_0 of 8 dB. It also achieves the PAPR that is equivalent to the conventional SLM and the bit error rate degradation is slightly different from that with perfect shift estimation.

In this paper, a linear moving average recursive filtering technique is proposed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The proposed low complexity technique is analyzed in an oversampled OFDM system and a simple distribution approximation of the oversampled and linearly filtered OFDM signals is also proposed. Corresponding time domain linear equalizers are developed to recover originally transmitted data symbols. Through extensive computer simulations, effects of the new filtering technique on the oversampled OFDM peak-to-average power ratio (PAR), power spectral density (PSD) and corresponding linear equalizers on the frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel transmission symbol-error-rate (SER) performance are investigated. The newly proposed recursive filtering scheme results in attractive PAR reduction, requires no extra fast Fourier transform/inverse fast Fourier transform (FFT/IFFT) operations, refrains from transmitting any side information, and reduces out-of-band radiation. Also, corresponding linear receivers are shown to perform very close to their frequency domain counterparts.
