However, the UFMC system faces a serious performance degradation on the transmitter side due to its high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). High PAPR of the signal is an analytical intention parameter for mobile networks, and it is necessary to minimize it as much as possible. This paper focuses on the PAPR reduction of the UFMC scheme. An efficient hybrid method of the PAPR reduction has been proposed and analysed through the Matlabâ„¢ simulation. The proposed hybrid scheme consists of a mixture of the selected-mapping method and the discrete Hartley transform precoding for a UFMC system (SLM-DHT-P-UFMC). The simulation results show that the proposed hybrid system has a better PAPR reduction performance compared to traditional SLM-UFMC and DHT-P-UFMC systems. Hence, SLM-DHT-P-UFMC is considered to be the suggested scheme in visible light communication broadcasting systems.}, type={Article}, title={Performance evaluation of UFMC-based VLC systems using a modified SLM technique}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118755/PDF/OPELRE_2021_29_3_E_Shalaby.pdf}, doi={10.24425/opelre.2021.135832}, keywords={universal filtered multi-carrier, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, peak-to-average power ratio, selected-mapping, discrete Hartley transform precoding}, }
