%0 Journal Article %T PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signal Using Error Correcting Code and Selective Mapping %A Anshu %A Himanshu Sharma %J International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security %D 2011 %I LJS Publisher and IJCSIS Press %X Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is a promising technique to offer high data rate and reliable communications over fading channels. The main implementation disadvantage of OFDM is the possibility of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). This paper presents a novel technique to reduce the PAPR using errorcorrecting coding and selective mapping (SLM).We show that the probability of the PAPR of OFDM signal with 100 subcarriers. %K OFDM %K SLM %K CCDF %K PAPR %K PAR. %U http://sites.google.com/site/ijcsis/vol-9-no-9-sep-2011
