Abstract

In this letter, a variable interleaver allocation scheme is proposed to alleviate the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of downlink OFDM-IDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-interleave division multiple access). The basic idea is to allocate multiple interleaving patterns for each user, so as to decide the best pattern with the lowest peak value. Furthermore, a variable interleaver design scheme is combined to generate multiple patterns from an original one. It is shown that the proposed scheme can achieve the theoretical bound of PAPR reduction performance, while making a good tradeoff among PAPR reduction, system performance and computational complexity.
