The proposed use of hexagonal constellation for PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal will be applied to eliminate data rate loss due to the side information in partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique and selected mapping (SLM) technique.
Abstract
One of the main drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signal. In this paper, we propose the use of hexagonal constellation for PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal. Because hexagonal constellation is the densest packing of regularly spaced points in two dimensions, we can have more signal points in a given area with hexagonal constellation than with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. We can exploit these extra degrees of freedom provided by the hexagonal constellation for PAPR reduction of an OFDM signal. We will apply the proposed technique to eliminate data rate loss due to the side information in partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique and selected mapping (SLM) technique.

Peak-To-Average Power Ratio Reduction in OFDM Systems: A Survey And Taxonomy

TL;DR: The survey describes the most commonly encountered impediment of OFDM systems, the PAPR problem and consequent impact on power amplifiers leading to nonlinear distortion, and provides insights into the transmitted power constraint by showing the possibility of satisfying the constraint without added complexity by the use of companding transforms with suitably chosen companding parameters.
