Summary:
Tone Injection (TI) can reduce the high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which can substantially limit the performance of multicarrier systems without bandwidth loss. However, TI results in peak regrowth since it does not consider second peaks which can be higher than the peak after performing TI and also the average transmit power is increased because of huge constellation. In this paper, a no-rate loss PAR reduction technique, Injected Tone Constellation (ITC), is proposed along with an iterative algorithm to achieve the performance increase and to minimize the average transmit power without high complexity.
