A blind polyphase time-domain selected mapping for filtered single-carrier signal transmission

Single-carrier (SC) signal has a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) property. However, the PAPR of SC signal increases if transmit filtering and/or high-level modulation are applied. We have recently proposed a time-domain selected mapping (TD-SLM) which effectively reduces the PAPR of filtered SC signals by applying the binary phase rotation before transmit filtering, but the necessity of side-information decreases the spectrum efficiency (SE). In this paper, a blind TD-SLM which does not require side-information is proposed. Unlike the frequency-domain SLM (FD-SLM) and the original TD-SLM with side-information, polyphase rotations are used. Performance evaluation of the proposed blind TD-SLM is done by computer simulation assuming turbo-coded filtered SC block signal transmission in aspects of PAPR and bit-error rate (BER) to show that no significant BER performance degradation is occurred.
