PAPR Reduction for OQAM/OFDM signals using Optimized Iterative Clipping and Filtering technique

The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a type of modulation that is being used for many of the latest wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting standards. OFDM is considered to be complicated than other signals but also it possess high data rate transmissions with relatively wide bandwidths. The major disadvantage included in OFDM signal is Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) ishigher level and Sensitive to Carrier offset. Hence there were found to be many reduction techniques for PAPR have been proposed where in need to reduction in high PAPR and carrier sensitivity still more to make it efficient for future optical domain standards. This paper not only makes the OFDM system advantageous but also suitable for fast data transmission and reduces the complication at receiver side, because all the transmitting data are cleared out of signal noise, interferences, etc. The technique which is going to get implemented for PAPR reduction is Optimized Iterative Clipping and Filtering (OICF). The OFDM is provided with the subcarrier of N=256 and the modulation of Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM). The OQAM-OFDM provides the higher spectral efficiency and also the inter-symbol interference is avoided since not using Cyclic Prefix (CP) in OQAM-OFDM signal. The main reason for reducing PAPR is that to avoid non-linearity at the receiving end in high speed wireless communication.
