That is one of the nice things about FEC based PAPR reduction, the receiver doesn't need to measure PAPR yet it exploits the PAPR reduction regardless. Think of it this way: The sender adds redundancy to improve PAPR but if the redundancy is FEC efficient then it is free in a BER vs SNR sense. And this holds even if the transmitter wasn't PAPR limited. > Tone reservation is probably the lowest cost means for this setup. And > backward compatible. Absolutely there. Though I don't see a way for the receiver to exploit the pilot tone. So it's only a win to the extent that it lets you increase the output amplitude. > Remapping as I described this morning is probabaly reasonable, also- > --given that LDPC encode is approximately a LUT and the FFT (DFT?) is > very short. Codec2 frames I think are a little too long for an entirely brute force approach to work. (By brute force, I mean, consider all possible OFDM words, select the 2^(code2_bits) codewords with the lowest PAPR, an map them to the codec 2 frames... then use a maximum likelyhood decoder). _______________________________________________ Freetel-codec2 mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freetel-codec2
