TLDR
The effectiveness of some recently proposed PAPR reduction methods for WiMAX systems using typical HPA models and spectral masks is evaluated in terms of the total system degradation.
Abstract
The main drawback of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which significantly reduces the efficiency of the transmit high power amplifier (H PA). Several methods have been proposed in the literature to reduce the peak power of OFDM signals and substantial gains were reported. In this paper, the effectiveness of some recently proposed methods is evaluated for WiMAX systems. Using typical HPA models and spectral masks, these PAPR reduction methods are evaluated in terms of the total system degradation.

Generalised Reed-Muller codes and power control in OFDM modulation

TL;DR: A powerful theory linking Golay complementary sets of polyphase sequences and Reed-Muller codes is developed and shows that any second-order coset of a q-ary generalization of the first order Reed-muller code can be partitioned into Golay additive sets whose size depends only on a single parameter that is easily computed from a graph associated with the coset.
