On the Reduced Complexity Interleaving Method for OFDM PAPR Reduction

Many methods for OFDM Peak to Average Power Ratio reduction have been proposed during approximately last ten years. There are nowadays many research efforts on PAPR reduction methods with reduced computational complexity. The method presented in this paper is based on adaptive symbol selection principle, with several replicas of signal created using set of interleavers incorporated inside an IFFT block at OFDM transmitter. This paper also discusses some practical aspects of this method - influence of zero padding and pilot positions
