An efficient combinational approach for PAPR reduction in MIMO–OFDM system

The multiple input multiple output (MIMO) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the channel capacity and diversity of wireless communication system without any increase in bandwidth. In this paper, a parallel combinational scheme is proposed to reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in MIMO–OFDM system under Rayleigh fading environment. The proposed method intelligently incorporates both active gradient project and partial transmit sequence schemes. The results show that the proposed method not only reduces the PAPR and computational complexity of the system but also maintains the bit error rate compared to other schemes.
