Low complexity method for reducing PAPR in FRFT-OFDM systems

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the PAPR in FRFT-OFDM systems, which belongs to the field of broadband wireless digital communications technology. The method is based on fractional random phase sequence and fractional circular convolution theorem, which can effectively reduce the PAPR of the system. The method of the invention has the advantages of simple system implementation and low computational complexity. In this method, the PAPR of the system can be effectively reduced while maintaining the reliability of the system. When the number of candidate signals is the same, the PAPR performance of the present method was found to be almost the same as that of SLM and better than that of PTS. More importantly, the present method has lower computational complexity than that of SLM and PTS methods.

1. A method for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in a fractional Fourier transform-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (FRFT-OFDM) communication system, comprising the steps of:
1) at a transmitting end of the FRFT-OFDM communication system, performing an N-point inverse discrete fractional Fourier transform (IDFRFT) of digitalized complex input data X of length N and converting it into the time domain to obtain FRFT-OFDM subcarrier signal x(n), wherein n is 1, 2 , . . . , N; 2) using a multiplexer to perform a p-order chirp periodic extension of the FRFT-OFDM subcarrier signal x(n) to obtain an extended chirp sequence, x((n))P,N, wherein chirp refers to a linear frequency modulation and p is the order of Fractional Fourier Transform, and wherein the conversion equation for the p-order chirp periodic extension is:x(n-N)j12cotα•(n-N)2Δt2=x(n)-j12cotα•n2Δt2 wherein α=pπ/2, Δt is the sampling interval; 3) shifting x((n))P,N to the right by iM (i is 1, 2 , . . . , L) points to get x((n−iM))P,N, which further multiplies by RN (n) to obtain chirp circular displacement of FRFT-OFDM signal, x((n−iM))P,NRN (n), wherein L is the length of the random phase sequence; M=N/L,RN(n)={11≤n≤N-10other; 4) multiplying x((n−iM))P,NRN (n) byη(n,i)=j12cotα•[-2•iM•n+(iM)2]Δt2 point-by-point to obtain φ(n,i) as the following:
