Chapter 5. Wider-band ‘Single-carrier’ Transmission

The previous chapters discussed multi-carrier transmission in general (Section 3.3.1) and OFDM transmission in particular (Chapter 4) as means to allow for very high overall transmission bandwidth while still being robust to signal corruption due to radio-channel frequency selectivity.

However, as discussed in the previous chapter, a drawback of OFDM modulation, as well as any kind of multi-carrier transmission, is the large variations in the instantaneous power of the transmitted signal. Such power variations imply a reduced power-amplifier efficiency and higher power-amplifier cost. This is especially critical for the uplink, due to the high importance of low mobile-terminal power consumption ...
