Fractal Peak Power Analysis on NOMA Waveforms using the PTS Method for different Sub-Carriers: Applications in 5G and Beyond

Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) waveforms need to be tested for their performance and effectiveness using partial transmit sequence (PTS) techniques and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) analysis. This is an important part of the advanced radio framework. This paper examines the PAPR features of NOMA systems using PTS with different sub-carrier configurations (64, 256, and 512). We examine BER, PSD, and PAPR distributions by modeling NOMA waveforms with PTS to understand the impact of different sub-carrier counts on signal complexity and efficiency. The findings shed light on how sub-carrier quantity affects PAPR statistics and offer guidance on the best way to design NOMA waveforms for improved spectral efficiency and reduced signal distortion. The simulation results show that by lowering the PAPR while maintaining the BER performance, the suggested system performs better than the traditional PAPR algorithm.
