A Selected Mapping Technique Using Interleavers for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems.

In this article, we propose a new selected mapping (SLM) technique using interleavers for reducing high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. The proposed technique can be considered as a modified version of the conventional SLM technique where a set of candidate symbol blocks can be generated from the original symbol block by inserting some pre-known block interleavers between the mapper and the phase rotation multipliers. One of the advantages of this approach is that with very low complex block interleavers the PAPR performance of the SLM scheme can be improved without increasing the number of IFFTs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better PAPR performance than the conventional SLM for a given number of IFFTs with no additional side information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
