Abstract:An improved method was proposed to reduce the deterioration of Peak to Average Power Ratio(PAPR) reduction of tone reservation method due to PAPR rising caused by oversampling. The modified Cross Entropy(CE) method was adopted to calculate the locations of the reserved tones. A time domain kernel with the lowest secondary peak under oversamping was obtained according to the locations. The oversampled Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) symbol was clipped by the kernel iteratively. The sample with the peak magnitude was clipped by the weighted and circularly shifted kernel to a predefined magnitude in each iteration. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, by which PAPR reduction is improved by 2.1 dB under 1 024 total subcarries and 10 reserved tones.
