Abstract

The high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main drawbacks of multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel user grouping scheme for PAPR reduction in the downlink of MC-CDMA. The basic principle is to partition the users into subgroups, and generate multiple alternatives to achieve considerable PAPR reduction. The proposed scheme can be regarded as a modified version of partial transmit sequence (PTS), but with improved performance. And simulation results show that the user grouping scheme is more effective than the conventional PTS in MC-CDMA system.
