A Direct and Generalized Construction of Polyphase Complementary Set with Low PMEPR and High Code-Rate for OFDM System
A salient disadvantage of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the high peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR). The PMEPR problem can be solved by using complementary sequences with low PMEPR but it may suffer from low code rate if the number of complementary sequences is small. In this paper, we present a new construction of complementary set (CS) by using generalized Boolean functions (GBFs), which generalizes Schmidt's construction, Paterson's construction and Golay complementary pair (GCP) given by Davis and Jedwab. The proposed CS provides lower PMEPR with higher code rate compared with Schmidt's method for the sequences corresponding to higher order (>=3) GBFs. We obtain complementary sequences with maximum PMEPR of 2^k+1 and 2^k+2-2M where k, M are non-negative integers that can be easily derived from the GBF associated with the CS.
