Low-Coherence Sequence Design Under PAPR Constraints

Signal Processing 2024-10-23 v2

Abstract

Low-coherence sequences with low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) are crucial for multi-carrier wireless communication systems and are used for pilots, spreading sequences, and so on. This letter proposes an efficient low-coherence sequence design algorithm (LOCEDA) that can generate any number of sequences of any length that satisfy user-defined PAPR constraints while supporting flexible subcarrier assignments in orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. We first visualize the low-coherence sequence design problem under PAPR constraints as resolving collisions between hyperspheres. By iteratively adjusting the radii and positions of these hyperspheres, we effectively generate low-coherence sequences that strictly satisfy the imposed PAPR constraints. Simulation results (i) confirm that LOCEDA outperforms existing methods, (ii) demonstrate its flexibility, and (iii) highlight its potential for various applications.
