Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been proposed to achieve high data rate transmission in wireless communications. The OFDM system usually suffers from the high envelope fluctuations called peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). The high PAPR causes a signal clipping distortion, and consequently, the performance is degraded. To mitigate the PAPR, we introduce a new PAPR reduction approach using a compressive sensing approach at the transmitter side and an orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) reconstruction algorithm at the receiver end. Numerical results show the significant reduction of the PAPR compared with the traditional OFDM system without degrading the bit error rate performance.
