Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus for minimizing a PAPR in an OFDM communication system. A subband divider divides L information data subcarrier signals into M subband signals. An additional information inserter inserts into the L information data subcarrier signals P additional information subcarrier signals. A dummy sequence inserter inserts the dummy sequence into a subband in the position. An IFFT block initially generates first and second OFDM symbol signals using M dummy sequence-free subband signals and M dummy sequence-inserted subband signals. A controller determines a sign bit value and an address bit value of the additional information when a PAPR value of the first OFDM symbol signal exceeds a predetermined PAPR threshold, and then performs a control operation of inserting the dummy sequence into a subband in a position corresponding to the address bit value so that the second OFDM symbol signal is transmitted over a downlink.

Abstract: A block coding apparatus and method in an OFDM mobile communication system are provided. They reduce PAPR to 3 dB or less, while increasing a traditional block coding rate by twice, by use of complementary sequences. Therefore, spectral efficiency is improved by twice, maintaining the traditional error correction capability, and thus decoding is facilitated.

Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus for minimizing a PAPR in an OFDM communication system. A subband divider divides L information data subcarrier signals into M subband signals. An additional information inserter inserts into the L information data subcarrier signals P additional information subcarrier signals having a sign bit indicating insertion of a dummy sequence and an address bit indicating a position of a dummy sequence-inserted subband. A dummy sequence inserter inserts the dummy sequence into a subband in the position. An IFFT block initially generates a first OFDM symbol signal by IFFT-transforming the P additional information subcarrier signals and M dummy sequence-free subband signals, and thereafter generates a second OFDM symbol signal by IFFT-transforming the P additional information subcarrier signals and M dummy sequence-inserted subband signals.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving data having a smallest PAPR in an SLM scheme for PAPR reduction in an OFDM communication system using multiple carriers. To transmit the data having the smallest PAPR, input symbol sequences are duplicated to a plurality of data blocks. Phase-rotated data blocks are generated by multiplying the plurality of data blocks by different phase sequences. Side information for identifying the phase-rotated data blocks is inserted into a predetermined t position of the phase-rotated data blocks. IFFT is performed on the data blocks containing the side information. The data block having the smallest PAPR is selected among the inverse fast Fourier transformed data blocks.
