In this paper, five novel schemes based on greedy algorithm are proposed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. For each proposed scheme, a simple transformation is performed on the partial transmit sequences in an iterative fashion to lower the PAPR. Computer simulations results show that all the proposed schemes can achieve PAPR reductions, but the performances of the PAPR reduction are different. To further evaluate their PAPR reductions, we compare the proposed schemes with the iterative flipping scheme. The results show that when the number of subblocks is not large, some of the proposed schemes can offer better PAPR reduction performance than the iterative flipping scheme with comparable computational complexity.

As a loudspeaker's physical size decreases, its ability to reproduce low frequencies is hindered. In this paper we propose a method of creating virtual bass using an efficient frequency tracking algorithm. The proposed algorithm has low computational complexity but excellent performance. The results of computer simulations and subjective tests are presented to validate the algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we suggest a synchronization receiver for MIMO-OFDM based mobile broadcasting system. A MIMO-OFDM receiver with algorithms for tracking of residual frequency offset (RFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) is designed and simulated. The proposed synchronization and compensation schemes are applied to IEEE 802.16e WiMAX and its performance is investigated by computer simulations in terms of mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER). The proposed RFO and SFO estimator has a fast convergence and a small residual degradation even for high speed mobile station. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
