Abstract - In recent time, the demand for multimedia data
services has grown up rapidly. One of the most promising
multi-carrier system, Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) forms basis for all 4G wireless
communication systems due to its large capacity to allow the
number of subcarriers, high data rateandubiquitouscoverage
with high mobility. OFDM is significantly affected by peak-to-
average-power ratio (PAPR). Unfortunately, the high PAPR
inherent to OFDM signal envelopes will occasionallydrivehigh
power amplifiers (HPAs) to operate in the nonlinear region of
their characteristic curve. The nonlinearity oftheHPAexhibits
amplitude and phase distortions, which cause loss of
orthogonality among the subcarriers, and hence, inter-carrier
interference (ICI) is introduced in the transmitted signal. Not
only that, high PAPR also leads to in-band distortion and out-
of-band radiation.
This paper emphasis mainly on the PAPR reduction of OFDM
system using partial transmits sequence (PTS) and precoding
techniques. Some other techniques such as amplitude clipping
have low-complexity; on the other hand, they suffer from
various problems such as in-band distortion and out-of-band
expansion. Signal companding methods have low-complexity,
good distortion and spectral properties; however, they have
limited PAPR reduction capabilities.Advancedtechniquessuch
as coding, partial transmit sequences (PTS) and selected
mapping (SLM), have also been consideredforPAPRreduction.

1. INTRODUCTION
A combination of multiple input multiple output (MIMO)
and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
(MIMO-OFDM) is an emerging technology for high speed
data multi-carriers transmission in future wireless
communication network systems such as digital audio
broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB),
medical body area networks (MBANs) applications, the
fourth and the fifth generation (4G,5G) of mobilenetwork.In
MIMO-OFDM system, the output is the superposition of
multiple sub-carriers. Whenever, the phasesandfrequencies
of these carriers match coherently, instantaneous power
outputs may increase greatly and become higher than the
mean power of the high power amplifier (HPA) resulting in
large PAPR [1]. Lot of research work has been done for
solving the problem of PAPR that concerns all kind of
multicarrier signals. So, many techniques have been
proposed such asclipping [2], tonereservation[3],nonlinear
transformations [4], coding [5], selecting mapping(SLM)[6]
and partial transmit sequence (PTS). Modifiedapproachesof
PTS are proposed in that produce better results; however,
the computational complexity is still remaining unsolved
totally. In this paper an approach is proposed to reduce the
PAPR in STBC MIMO-OFDM systemswithlesscomputational
complexity. So, the mean idea is based on separating the
input vector data into real and imaginary parts for
computational simplification reasons and then C-A-PTS is
applied individually on these parts, moreover, PAPR is
conjointly optimized in real part and imaginary part for the
first antenna and by symmetry property the optimum
weighting coefficient is deduced for the second antenna
without any extra optimization whichleadsto decreasing of
the complexity of the computation [7]. This approach is
applied in STBC MIMO-OFDM systems. The rest of the paper
is organized as follows: in section II, PAPR theory in
MIMOOFDM system is developed. Section III describes the
proposed algorithm. The papersare concluded in sectionIV.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Owingtothe signal structure differencebetweenthefilter
bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude
modulation (FBMC/OQAM) and the orthogonal frequency-
division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the existing
technologies to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio
(PAPR) for OFDM systems are not suitable for the
FBMC/OQAM systems. The main idea of this joint
optimization scheme is clipping and filtering the processed
FBMC/OQAM signal, whose probabilityof the peak value has
been reduced by the IBPTS technique. Meanwhile, aided by
the knowledge of convex optimization, the IBPTS-ICF joint
optimization scheme can effectively reduce the signal
distortion. The excellent PAPR reduction performance of the
proposed scheme has been confirmed in our simulations by
Junhui Zhao et al. [1].
The implementation of MIMO with OFDM is an effective
and more attractive technique forhighdataratetransmission
and provides burly reliability in wireless communication. It
haslotof advantageswhich candecreasereceivercomplexity,
providesheftinessagainstnarrowbandinterferenceandhave

capability to reduce multipath fading. The major problem of
MIMO-OFDM is high PAPR which leadsto reduction in Signal
to Quantization Noise Ratio of the converters which also
degrades the efficiency of power amplifier at transmitter. In
this paper we mainly focus on one of scrambling and non-
scrambling technique Iterative clipping and filtering, and
partial Transmit sequence (PTS) which results in better
performance.The two techniquesonceunitedorcombinedin
the system prove that along with trimming down the PAPR
value, the power spectral density also gets smoother by
Ashna Kakkar et al. [2].
A combinationof multiple-input multiple output(MIMO)
signal processing with orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) is regarded as a promisingsolution for
enhancing theperformance of next generationwirelesslocal
area network (WLAN) systems. However, like OFDM, one
main disadvantage of MIMO-OFDM is that the signals
transmitted on different antennas might exhibit a
prohibitively large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR).
Partial transmit sequence (PTS) provides attractive PAPR
reduction performance in OFDM or MIMO-OFDM.
Unfortunately, it leads to prohibitively large computational
complexity. In this paper, types of low-complexity PTS
schemes are proposed to reduce the PAPR for MIMO-OFDM
systems that use Firefly algorithm (FA) and space-frequency
block codes (SFBC).Simulation resultsshowthatFAbasedon
PTS can reduce computational complexity dramatically and
achieve better PAPR reduction performance compared to
ordinary PTS by Ho-Lung Hung et al. [3].
Multiple-Input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal
frequency divisionmultiplexing (OFDM) is reliable andmost
attractive technique for high data rate communications.
MIMO uses spatial diversity to accept multiple "best" signals
simultaneously. Each antenna is able to transmit or receive
signals, where the legacy system can only accept the single
"best" signal. The main drawback of orthogonal frequency
divisionmultiplexing systemsis high Peak to Average Power
Ratio (PAPR), which results in poor power efficiency,
degradation in bit-error-rate (BER) performance, and
spectral spreading efficiency.Theneededmeasure for better
wireless communication is to reduce PAPR. The proposed
system introduces Adaptive Selected mapping (ASLM)
techniques. In this technique, the sums of separated data
blocks are created from an OFDM data block using a set of
phase sequence. It chooses lowest PAPR and selects
sequences for transmission. As an outcome, the adaptive
selectedmapping increasesthe power efficiencyandreduces
the impulse interference by P. Kothai et al. [4].
The two related optimization problems, maximizing the
minimum of weighted rates under a sum-power constraint
and minimizing the sum-power under rate constraints, are
considered. They assumed that the Gaussian input and that
each signal is decoded at no more titan one receiver. The
complexity is high because the steepest ascent algorithm for
the weighted sum-rate maximization needs to be solved
repeatedly for each weight vector searched by the ellipsoid
algorithm. Then the solution does not satisfy the single-user
water-filling structure. They can beusedinadmissioncontrol
and in guaranteeing the quality of service. In, finally the
mappings were used for many other optimization problems
by Muhammet et al. [5].
The real and imaginary parts of complex factor
corresponding to in-phase components and quadrature
components of OFDM symbols, respectively. It is to be noted
that in ideal cases, the demodulation is performed based on
the assumption of perfect symbol timing, carrier frequency,
and phase synchronization. This is usually not practically
possible to achieve; therefore, the demodulated signal will
not be the exact replica of input signal; resulting in bit error
rate (BER). The term BER can be mathematically expressed
as the difference of the received demodulated data and the
input data by P. Mukunthan et al. [6].
3. SYSTEM MODEL
MIMO in combination with OFDM is widely used nowadays
due its best performance in terms of capacity of channels,
high data rate and good outcome in frequency selective
fading channels. In addition to this it also improvesreliability
of link.This is attained astheOFDM can transform frequency
selective MIMOchannelto frequency flat MIMO channels[8].
So it is widely used in future broadband wireless
system/communications. Cyclic prefix is the copy of lastpart
of OFDM symbolwhichis appended to the OFDMsymbolthat
is to be transmitted. It is basically0.25%oftheOFDMsymbol.
We can say thatone fourth of the OFDM symbol istakenasCP
(cyclic prefix) and appended to each OFDM symbol. IFFT is
used at the transmitter and FFT is used at the receiver which
substitutes the modulators and demodulators. Doing so
eliminates the use of banks of oscillators and coherent
demodulators. Moreover the complex data cannot be
transmitted as it is; therefore it is first converted to analog
formwhichis accomplished by IFFT. It basically convertsthe
signal from frequency domain to time domain. Prior to IFFT
operation symbol mappingis performedwhichisnothingbut
the modulation block. Any of the widely used modulation
techniques can be applied like BPSK, QPSK, QAM, PSK etc.
Further there are higherordermodulationsarealsoavailable
which provide more capacity at little expense of BER
performance degradation. After IFFT block pilot insertion is
done and then CP (cyclic prefix) is added. Figure 1 below
shows the block diagram constituting MIMO and OFDM. Any
antenna configuration for the MIMO can be usedaccordingto
the system requirement. Higher the configuration more will
be the capacity and more will be the computational
complexityof the transceiver design. It is seenthatinthecase
of estimating channel the computational complexity is
increased.Mapper definesthe modulationtobeused.Symbol

if spatial diversity is to be used and it takes the shape of the
de-multiplexer/multiplexer if spatial multiplexing is to be
used.

Fig -1: MIMO-OFDM system model
The received signal at jth antenna can be expressed as
Where H is the channel matrix,X is the input signal andW
is noise with zeromean and variance. Also bi[n,k]represents
the data block ith transmit antenna, nth time slot and kth sub
channel indexof OFDM. Here i and jdenotedthetransmitting
antennas index and receiving antenna index respectively.
The MIMO-OFDM system model [9] with NR receives
antennas and NT transmits antennas can be given as:

Where, Z represents O/P data vector, H denotes Channel
matrix, A denotes I/P data vector and M represents Noise
vector. The wireless channel used is AWGN channel. After
receiving the signal the CP is removed then the pilots are
also removed from main signal received. After this thesignal
that is in time domain can be again converted to frequency
domain by taking FFT of the received signal.
The sequence on each of the OFDM block is then provided to
channel estimation block where the received pilots altered
by channel are compared with the original sent pilots.
Channel estimation block consistsof the algorithmsthat are
applied to estimate the channel.
4. PTS SCHEMES
4.1 SISO PTS Scheme
In the SISO-PTS scheme, the original data sequence in the
frequency domain is partitioned into M disjoint,equallength
sub blocks Xv (v = 1, 2... M) as follows.
M
X   X v
v 1
(3)
By multiplying some weighting coefficients to all the
subcarriers in every sub-block, we cangetthenewfrequency
sequence.
M
X  bv X v
v 1 (4)
Finally, at each transmitting antenna, there are (V-1) sub
blocksto be optimized, and the candidate sequence with the
lowest PAPR is individually selected for transmitting.
Assume that there are W allowed phaseweightingfactors.To
achieve the optimal weighting factors for each transmitting
antenna, combinations should be checked in order to obtain
the minimum PAPR [10].
4.1 Alternate PTS (A-PTS)
In, the idea of alternate optimization is introduced, andit
can be also applied to PTS in multiple antennas OFDM
systems, denoted as alternate PTS (A-PTS). Different from
ordinary PTS, phase weighting factors are needed only for
half of the sub blocks in A-PTS. That is to say, starting from
the first sub block, every alternate sub block is kept
unchanged and phase weighting factors are optimized only
for the rest of the sub blocks, which leadsto the reduction of
computational complexity. In this way, the computational
complexity is greatly reduced at the expense of PAPR
performance degradation [11]. Employed spatial sub block
circular permutation for A-PTS scheme to increase the
number of candidate sequences which improves the PAPR
performance further.

antennas
5. EXPECTED OUTCOME
This research project expects to have the following
outcomes by the end of the project.
 The PAPR of the MIMO-OFDM signal can also be
reduced by using PTS with DWT and DCT technique.

modulation technique and PTS with DWT and DCT
technique.
 Analysis of the space time block code (STBC) used in
MIMO-OFDM system and achieved better result.

6. CONCLUSION
An extended approach cooperative and alternate partial
transmit sequence named PTS was proposed for STBC
MIMO-OFDM - 4G which makesuses ofconjointoptimization
of the PAPR for both real and imaginary parts. A high PAPR,
between the two antennas, is selected to be transmitted.The
proposed method performs well in terms of simulation
results as well as the complexity of computation.
