Description
Summary:In the present article, we propose a novel selected mapping (SLM) scheme based on a Polar coding technique for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) systems. The proposed scheme by utilizing random frozen bits in polar codes generates different number of candidate sequences. Then the candidate sequence with the smallest PAPR is selected for transmission. The proposed scheme can be considered as one block in an OFDM-IM system that performs both PAPR reduction and error correction. For a fair comparison, the performance of an OFDM-IM system based on the proposed scheme is compared with a system that carries out the same operations with two separate blocks where a Polar encoder is cascaded with the one for PAPR reduction (such as conventional SLM or PTS), and a Polar coded OFDM-IM system without any PAPR reduction scheme. Moreover, based on our proposed SLM scheme, a novel receiver without using side information (SI) is proposed. This SI free receiver is based on the successive cancellation list (SCL) polar decoding scheme. Simulation results show that as the Polar code can bring both error correction and PAPR reduction capabilities by using our proposed scheme. Also, the proposed SI free receiver can achieve similar bit error rate (BER) performance as that of the ideal case in both additive Gaussian white noise (AWGN) and frequency selective channels.
