A low-complexity PAR-reduction method for DMT-VDSL

• DMT-VDSL signals have a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAR). In the transmitters, the PAR governs the necessary resolution of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and is an important factor for the power consumption of the line-driver. Aiming at implementation in a specific system, we propose a low complexity PAR-reduction method based on the iterative algorithm derived in [5, 20, 24, 25]. We maintain good performance while stressing a straigthforward and low-complex implementation. Key elements of the method are: low latency; no loss in data rate; precalculated and stored peak-cancellation waveform; and bit-shifts (multiplication with powers of two) replacing the scaling of the waveform. Computer simulations show that, for a DMT frame length of 4096 samples and a frame clip rate of 10-4, the PAR can be reduced about 1.5 to 2.0 dB, depending on the number of peaks cancelled. When multiplication is replaced by bit-shifts, the reduction is still 1.5-1.7 dB.
