Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) when combined with multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) technology offers attractive bandwidth efficiency and higher link reliability in future 4 G wireless technologies. However the major disadvantage of OFDM is, the signals transmitted through multiple antennas suffer from high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which affects the transmission efficiency. A scheme for PAPR reduction in wavelet packet OFDM based on discrete cosine harmonic wavelet packet transform (DCHWPT) using particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. The optimization technique selects a best wavelet tree from fully decomposed wavelet packet tree structure with minimum PAPR is selected for transmission. Results show that PAPR is considerably reduced as the level of decomposition is increased for the wavelet packet structure.
