The present disclosure presents a predictive signal producing method that
effectively levels transmitter output power in a multi-carrier
communication system and results in approaching amplifier performance
normally associated with constant carrier waveforms. Embodiments of the
disclosed solution offers >10 dB reduction in the peak-to-average
power required to support the transmission of, for example, orthogonal
frequency division modulation ("OFDM") modulation techniques. Embodiments
of the novel system and method maximize peak-to-average power ratio
("PAPR") reduction with selective mapping and soft clipping, which may
include filtering, combined. This novel approach also minimizes overhead,
bit error rate, retransmissions, and increases latency as well as
implementing processing cycles with a number of iterations. The disclosed
system and method improves the total system DC power efficiency and
provides an optimal solution for PAPR reduction in multi-carrier
communication systems such as, for example, OFDM.
