Abstract
One of the main drawbacks of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) are the large fluctuations of its power envelope. In this letter, a novel and efficient scheme based on Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Networks (NN) is proposed. The NN synthesizes the Active Constellation Expansion - (ACE) technique which is able to drastically reduce envelope fluctuations. This is achieved with much lower complexity, faster convergence, and better performance compared to previously available methods.
