A New Discrete Hartley Transform Precoding Based Interleaved-OFDMA Uplink System with Reduced PAPR for 4G Cellular Networks

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction is one of the major challenges in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems since last decades. High PAPR increases the complexity of analogue-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analogue (D/A) convertors and als...

Description
Summary:High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction is one of the major challenges in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems since last decades. High PAPR increases the complexity of analogue-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analogue (D/A) convertors and also reduces the efficiency of RF highpower- amplifier (HPA). In this paper, we present a new Discrete- Hartley transform (DHT) precoding based interleaved-OFDMA uplink system for PAPR reduction in the upcoming 4G cellular networks. Extensive computer simulations have been performed to analyze the PAPR of the proposed system with root-raised-cosine (RRC) pulse shaping. We also compare simulation results of the proposed system with the conventional interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems and the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) precoding based interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems. It is concluded from the computer simulations that the proposed system has low PAPR as compared to the conventional interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems and the WHT precoded interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems.
