Peak to average power reduction using amplitude and sign adjustment

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the peak to mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) of multicarrier signals by modifying the constellation. For MPSK constellations, we minimize the maximum of the multicarrier signal over the sign and amplitude of each subcarrier. In order to find an efficient solution to the aforementioned non-convex optimization problem, we present a suboptimal solution by first optimizing over the signs using the result of [1], and then optimizing over the amplitudes given the signs. We prove that the minimization of the maximum of a multicarrier signal over the amplitude of each subcarrier can be written as a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequality constraints. We also generalize the idea to other constellations such as 16QAM. Simulation results show that by an average power increase of 0.21 db and not sending information over the sign of each subcarrier, PMEPR can be decreased by 5.1 db for a system with 128 subcarriers.
