Wavelet networks for reducing the envelope fluctuations in WirelessMan–OFDM systems

The IEEE 802.16d standard specified Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation for the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) physical layer. However, the main weakness of OFDM is the high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). In this paper, we present two new approaches based on Wavelet Networks (WNs) for reducing the PAPR in the fixed WiMAX system. The training data is obtained from the ACE-AGP algorithm. The results of the simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed schemes even for high order modulation such as 64-QAM. Furthermore, the proposals allow reduction in the complexity and convergence time in comparison with other methods.
