Abstract
A wired and wireless communication method, and more particularly a method and apparatus for reducing a PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio) in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. A transmitter of the OFDM system designates, as a coset leader, a vector capable of minimizing a PAPR in a general standard array of (n, k) linear block codes and transmits a sequence having a minimum PAPR by adding each coset leader to an n-bit codeword corresponding to k-bit information and producing U (≦2) number of vectors. Then, a receiver of the OFDM system can easily recover an original transmission signal using a syndrome of a received vector if the receiver identifies information of the syndrome and the coset leader. Subsequently, the OFDM system can be designed irrespective of the number of carriers, i.e., N, and enhance the system's performance by increasing a value of U. Moreover, the OFDM system different from the conventional SLM (Selective Mapping) system does not have to transmit, to the receiver, information indicating which signal has been selected.
