Out-of-Band Power Reduction in NC-OFDM with Optimized Cancellation Carriers Selection

In this letter, we propose a computationally efficient method for joint selection of cancellation carriers (CCs) and calculation of their values minimizing the out-of-band (OOB) power in non-contiguous (NC-) OFDM transmission. The proposed new CCs selection method achieves higher OOB power attenuation than algorithms known from literature as well as noticable reception performance improvement.
