S.Tamilselvan et al./ International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering Technology (IJCSET)• The zero padded frequency-domain block { , k= 0,1,…N’-1}, where N’ is a powerof two, is formed byadding N-N’ zeros to the original frequency-domain blockis given Eqn.(1).As other multicarrier signals, MC-CDMA signals have high envelope fluctuations and a high peak-to-meanenvelopee power ratio (PMEPR), which leads to amplification difficulties. This is particularly important for theuplink transmission, since efficientlow-cost power amplification is desirable at the mobile terminals (MTs).Moreover, the transmission over time-dispersivechannels destroys the orthogonality between spreading codes,which might lead to significant multiple-access interference levels and frequent running of HPA into saturationregion reduces the power efficiency. To reduce the envelope fluctuations of the transmitted signals, whilemaintaining the spectral efficiency, the MC-CDMA signal associated to each MT is submitted to a clippingdevice, followed by a frequency domain filtering operation. However, thenonlinear distortion effects can behigh when an MC-CDMA transmitter with reduced envelope fluctuations is intended.II. CHOICE OF PMEPR REDUCTION TECHNIQUEThere have been many proposal of methods inwhich the power ratio can be reducedd in MC-CDMA multi-ofcarrier signals. Some researchers have developedd methods of achieving lowPMEPR through the application“partial transmits sequence, block coding and selected mapping”. Other techniques oflowering thePMEPRratio which have been published involve complicated applications of supplementaryFFT function blocksrequiringmore functional components. In addition, non-hardware basedapproaches that also incur otherdisadvantages such as adding information in overhead parameters or handshaking algorithms to control PMEPRlevels. Additional information bearing causes OFDM signal to be less bandwidth efficient.Though a class of low-complexity signal-processing schemes for reduced PMEPR, spectrally efficient MC-aCDMA transmission proposed requires supplementary FFTfunction blocks, but this scheme combinesnonlinearoperation inthe time domain with a linear, filtering operation in the frequency domain. Thisfrequency-domain filtering, besidess not requiring an increased guard time to avoid intersymbol interference(ISI), canbe very selective, e.g., completely removing theout-of-band radiation effects of the precedingnonlinearoperation.More recently, a similar class of signal-processing schemess for the samegoals was analyzed. The differencelies in the type of nonlinear operation with each class: a nonlinearity operating on thecomplex MC-CDMAsamples in [8], and a nonlinearity which separately operates ontheir real (I)and imaginary (Q) parts in[9]. Ourscheme considers the former class only, which provides better performance,and studies the cases where a givenscheme (nonlinear time-domain operation followed by frequency-domainfiltering) is repeatedly used, in aniterative way.Though the proposed method that is focused on does not require additional FFT’s operators and only requiresingle FFT and IFFT functions in the transceiverss to operate. The technique involves the shaping of time limitedsubcarrier pulses. Themodificationof subcarrier pulse shapes does not add extra information to the existingstructure of MC-CDMA signals and hence bandwidth efficiency is unaffected. Codingmethods as describedpreviously can assist incontrolling interchannel interference through channel coding.Therefore, through the use of thisnon-linear signal processing scheme, certain pulse shape characteristics canbe testedin search for the best pulse characteristics. Theobjective is to find thegeneral pulse shapecharacteristics that promote the improvements in lowering the factor of high PMEPRfound in MC-CDMAsignals.III. TRANSMISSION OF MC-CDMA SIGNALA WIDE CLASS OF NONLINEAR SIGNAL-PROCESSING SCHEMEWith the basic signal-processingschemes considered here for MC-CDMAtransmission is shown inFigure 1,each block of time-domain samples is generated as follows.Figure 1 BlockDiagram for Proposed TechniqueeISSN : 2229-3345 Vol. 3 No. 3 March 2012 15

For a given and a careful selection of , the nonlinear characteristic (for a giveninput level) and the set can {Gk} ensure small envelope fluctuations while maintaining low out-of-bandradiation and in-band self-interference levels. When the nonlinear operation is chosen to be an ideal envelopeclipping, with clipping. , , (8)It should be mentioned that this wide class of signal-processing schemes includes, as specific cases, schemesproposed so far. where the same clipping is adopted when assuming ,the condition in Eqn.(8) with for the inbandsubcarriers, and out-of-band. It should also be mentioned that, for an ideal envelope clipping, the proposedsignal-processing scheme can be shown to be equivalent to the peak cancellation method.A more sophisticated technique, allowing improved PMEPR reducing results, could be simply developed onthe basis of the signal-processing approach described above. Such a technique consists of repeatedly using, in aniterative way, the signal-processing chain which leads from to in Fig.1. The technique proposed in [17]corresponds to the particular case where the nonlinear operation is an envelope clipping, and the frequencydomainfiltering is characterized by for the Gk=0 for the out-of-band subcarriers.ISSN : 2229-3345 Vol. 3 No. 3 March 2012 16
