Abstract

The vast majority of designs on peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction and PA linearization schemes in broadcasting systems can be found in literature dealing with both of them in a separate manner on problem formulation, optimization objectives, and implementation issues without considering their mutual influence. Their overall performance might be suboptimal even if each of them has been optimized independently due to possible conflicts as both techniques are interdependent. This paper proposes an adding signal method that jointly achieves PAPR reduction and PA linearization simultaneously, and no extra processing is required at the receiver. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme offers a good performance/complexity trade-off requiring fewer iterations than recent methods.
