Abstract
Next generation of wireless mobile communication system will allow the provision of advanced multimedia services with ubiquitous access thanks to the higher data rates offered. However, it is necessary for the transmission technologies to be able to cope with problems deriving from high data rate transmission over wireless channels.
Hitherto, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing has been the most widely used multiplexing technique due to its robustness against frequency selective fading channels that highly encounter in mobile transmission. However, it suffers from High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio which may be particularly troublesome in uplink transmission because of the costly high power amplifiers that are needed in the user terminals.
Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access has become an alternative technique to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access due to its low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio. It was chosen as the uplink multiple access scheme in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution. However, Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access still suffer from high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio in the uplink transmission which results in reducing power efficiency of the system. As a result there is a need to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio of the Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access system.
In this thesis many theoretical foundations of Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access have been introduced. The performance of the Single
