High Peak to Average Power Ratio, commonly abbreviated as PAPR, represents the main concern in the implementations of all multicarrier modulation schemes such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. Many PAPR reduction techniques were proposed to solve this problem. Amongst these schemes is the Active Constellation Extension (ACE) which is recognized as a promising method that provides higher gains with neither Bit Error Rate (BER) degradation nor receiver side information transmission. In this investigation, we focus on this scheme in its Projection onto Convex Sets (POCS) variant. We propose a quick POCS-ACE convergence scheme that achieves good performances from the first iteration without degradation in BER.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
