Hybrid PAPR reduction scheme with selective mapping and tone reservation for FBMC/OQAM

Abstract

Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) has been proven to be a promising multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique. However FBMC has also the intrinsic disadvantage of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) that should be alleviated. This paper presents a new hybrid peak-to-average power ratio reduction technique, which combines a selective mapping method with a tone reservation method. Simulation results show that our proposed method has better performance than other typical existing methods.
