Power priority selection and adaptive clipping with peak reduction signal for MUDiv/OFDMA

In recent, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) has been used for a multiuser wireless communication. In a wireless network, the transmitted signal of each user has independent channel fluctuation characteristics. By using this characteristic, the multiuser diversity (MUDiv) can be obtained, and a MUDiv/OFDMA has been proposed. Until this time, to achieve a low complexity and performance improvement, the adaptive subcarrier block (ASB) and frequency symbol spreading (FSS) methods have been proposed. However, the system performance in a low E_b/N₀ is worse than that of maximal sum capacity (MSC) and peak to average power ratio (PAPR) does not decrease greatly. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose the subcarrier allocation with the power priority selection (PSS) and the adaptive clipping (AC) with the peak reduction signal to improve the system and PAPR performance.
