Abstract

A communication system () includes a transmitter () having a peak controller () which controls PAPR to operate in accordance with a noise constraint. A backoff controller () operates in conjunction with an amplifier section () to cause the amplifier section () to maximize the amplification it applies while maintaining a predetermined degree of amplifier linearity. The noise constraint is provided by an equilibrium estimator () that provides a noise target parameter () to the peak controller (). The noise target parameter () is configured to identify the transmitter's equilibrium point (). The equilibrium point () is that signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the signal () broadcast from the transmitter () where a demodulator () in a receiver () will experience a reduced SNR if the transmitted signal () SNR either increases or decreases.
