Abstract
A communication system includes a transmitting unit with a peak to average power (PAPR) reduction section. The PAPR reduction section modifies the PAPR reduction it effects in a communication signal in accordance with two different error vector magnitude (EVM) constraints for each channel type, where a channel type is a distinct combination of a modulation order and a coding rate. The EVM constraint followed for each subcarrier in an OFDM or OFDMA application is selected in response to whether the subcarrier conveys voice or non-voice data. The PAPR reduction section may include a scaling filter. The scaling filter is efficiently defined through the use of a predetermined sinc function and a first stage scale factor that is calculated in response to a weighted average of excursion signal subcarrier gains, where the weighting follows the distribution of channel types through the subcarriers.
