Abstract

A major problem with multicarrier transmissions is the near Gaussian behavior of the data stream entering the high power amplifier (HPA). This causes distortion (some samples are clipped) that must be corrected at the transmit-or receive-end, in order to improve the detection performance. We propose a new approach that recovers the distorted samples at the receiver. It is based on an augmented Bayesian model which captures the nonlinear behavior of the HPA. Estimates of the input symbols are then obtained with a hybrid deterministic/stochastic algorithm. Simulations over frequency selective channels show that when clipping is severe, our method outperforms existing methods.
