Demonstrating the Effect of Using Goppa Coding with Hybrid Selective Mapping and Partial Transmit Sequence Technique for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems

Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is a multi-carrier modulation technique which provides numerous advantages like high spectral efficiency, minimal interference, low multipath fading, etc. But Peak-to-average Power Ratio is a severe challenge in using such multiplexing technique as it introduces distortions in nonlinear devices. Various Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction techniques have been investigated in the literature to improve the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing systems. But, each of them suffers either from high complexity or degraded bit error rate or less spectral efficiency. For reducing Peak-to-average Power Ratio more effectively, a hybrid combination of Partial Transmit Sequence with Selective Mapping is detected to show better performance. In this paper, we have combined Goppa coding technique with this hybrid Selective Mapping and Partial Transmit Sequence for further improving the performance. Along with Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction capability, the proposed technique also has inherent error control mechanism due to the use of coding. Based on the simulation results, we have concluded that the proposed technique provides good amount of Peak-to-average Power Ratio reduction than conventional techniques. The proposed technique is analyzed for different number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol candidates for Selective Mapping and different number of block divisions for Partial Transmit Sequence. Further, this technique is simulated for different number of subcarriers and modulation order and the simulation results are compared with each other. The proposed technique also shows better Bit error rate values for high Signal-to-Noise ratio.
