Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) inherits multi-carrier systems’ inevitable high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. In this paper, a novel alternating companding technique is proposed to combat the harassment of PAPR. The sequential μ-law (SULC) and tone with lower PAPR result in only partial tones needing companding. SULC scheme’s bit error rate (BER) performance has been balanced improved. However, computational complexity still too be implemented. Therefore, study sorted transmission signals according their amplitudes. Then, all are divided into two groups by estimating rough amount (around 54% subcarriers), using traditional parallel for first group other This (AULC) improve simultaneously reduce complexity. Simulation results show that AULC method appreciably reduces about 5 dB 45%) compared original at complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) equal 10−4. Moreover, it requires moderate outperform schemes without sacrificing BER OFDM systems.
