Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output technology together with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is an effective technique to combat multi-channel fading and to improve bandwidth efficiency. Simultaneously, it also increases the system's ability to provide reliable transmission. However, the main disadvantage of OFDM is the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR), which, if not mitigated, will negatively impact practical applications. The high PAPR increases complexity and Bit Error Rate. In this research, the authors investigate the factors influencing the PAPR performance of both OFDM and MIMO-OFDM systems. The objective of this research is to make researchers in this field become familiar with this problem as well as to impart an understanding of the factors that influence PAPR. In this study, the authors classify the factors that impact PAPR into modulation schemes and a number of sub-carriers. These parameters influence the PAPR performance have been analyzed and simulated by using MATLAB. It is observed that the numbers of sub-carriers have a great effect on the PAPR performance. However, modulation schemes can have a small effect on PAPR performance.

2. Papr Reduction Techniques In Literature Review For Mimo-Ofdm Systems

For future communication systems, an amalgamation of multiple-input/ multiple-output with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, indicated as MIMO-OFDM, is one of the most prominent candidates (Yang, 2005). As pointed previously, the main disadvantage of MIMO-OFDM is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signals. We characterize and describe here some of the PAPR reduction methods available in the literature. The literature review presents some techniques for PAPR reduction of MIMO-OFDM systems by improving and adapting several PAPR reduction techniques.

Recently, different techniques have been suggested to reduce the PAPR for OFDM systems in the literature, for instance coding techniques (Davis & Jedwab, 1997), clipping (Li & Cimini, 1998), and partial transmit sequence (PTS) (Cimini & Sollenberger, 2000), constellation shaping (Laroia et al., 1994), and adaptive all-pass filters (Hong & Har, 2011). Meanwhile, several techniques were suggested to minimize the PAPR of MIMO-OFDM signals.
