A partial transmit sequences based approach for the reduction of peak-to-average power ratio in FBMC system

In this paper, we propose a PTS-based approach to solve the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem in filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) system with the consider of the prototype filter and the overlap feature of the symbols in time domain. In this approach, we improve the performance of the traditional PTS approach by modifying the choice of the best weighting factors with the consideration of the overlap between the present symbol and the past symbols. The simulation result shows this approach performs better than traditional PTS approach in the reduction of PAPR in FBMC system.
