Abstract

Wavelet packet modulation (WPM) is a potential candidate in wireless communication systems by virtue of its flexibility and modular implementation capability. However, WPM suffers from high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which results in signal distortion when a high-power amplifier is employed at the transmitter. The partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an attractive PAPR reduction method, but its computational complexity is high. In this paper, we propose a PTS based on the genetic algorithm (GA) scheme (GA-PTS) to reduce the computational complexity of the PTS in the lifting-based WPM (LBWPM) systems. Simulation results show that the proposed GA-PTS scheme provides significant improvement in PAPR reduction while maintaining a low computational load. The cumulative distribution function performance of the LBWPM system is better than the performance of the classical WPM.
