Summary :

In this paper, we propose applying our previously reported adaptive peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method using null space in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals to the downlink MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying transmission. Assuming MIMO-OFDM transmission, mitigating its high PAPR not only at the base station (BS) but also at the relay station (RS) transmitters is essential to achieve sufficient coverage enhancement from the RSs by minimizing the transmission power backoff levels at the nonlinear power amplifier. In this study, we assume an AF-type RS with multiple antennas. In the proposed method, the BS suppresses the PAPR of the transmitted signal through adaptive PAPR reduction utilizing the null space of the integrated overall MIMO channel that combines the channel between the BS and RS and the channel between the RS and a set of user equipment (UE). However, the PAPR of the received signal at each RS antenna is increased again due to the MIMO channel between the BS and RS. The proposed method reduces this increased PAPR at the AF-type RS transmitter by PAPR reduction processing that utilizes the null space in the MIMO channel between the RS and UE. Since the in-band PAPR reduction signal added at the RS transmitter is transmitted only in the null space of the MIMO channel between the RS and UE, interference at the UE receiver is mitigated. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method significantly improves the PAPR-vs.-throughput performance compared to that for the conventional one thanks to the reduced interference levels from the PAPR reduction signal observed at the UE receiver.
