PAPR reduction performance of bat algorithm in OFDM systems

The progression in technology requires improved modulation techniques for wideband digital communication systems. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is efficacious systems to fulfill high-speed data transmissions needs. However, high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the significant limitations on the performance and power efficiency of OFDM systems. Due to industrial and scientific relevance, the assessment of the PAPR reduction has become popular subject in the current decade. This study presents the combination of bat algorithm with partial transmit sequence scheme as an efficient PAPR reduction method with an alleviated computational load. A set of simulations with different partial transmit sequence schemes are performed to comparatively evaluate the PAPR reduction performance of the partial transmit sequence based on bat algorithm scheme in OFDM system. The simulation results elucidate that BA-PTS scheme can provides better PAPR reduction performance with less computational load.
