MIMO-OFDM PAPR reduction by selected mapping using side information power allocation

In this paper, we present a Selected Mapping (SLM) PAPR reduction technique for MIMO-OFDM system with special protection of Side Information (SI). Selected Mapping (SLM) is a powerful PAPR reduction technique since it does not cause any signal distortion and simple to implement. As a special protection for the Side Information (SI) of SLM technique, we propose a SI power allocation procedure. Simulation results show that our proposed technique gives significantly better BER performance than the ordinary SLM technique for MIMO-OFDM systems. Analysis for the optimum SI power allocation is also presented.
