abstract

  • One of the main drawbacks of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) are the large fluctuations of its power envelope. In this letter, a novel and efficient scheme based on Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)
    Neural Networks (NN) is proposed. The NN synthesizes the Active
    Constellation Expansion - (ACE) technique which is able to drastically
    reduce envelope fluctuations. This is achieved with much lower
    complexity, faster convergence, and better performance compared to
    previously available methods.
