High instantaneous peak power of the transmitted signals is the main obstacle of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems for its application, therefore, the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction has been one of the most important technologies. Among all the existing methods, partial transmit sequences (PTS) is a distortionless phase optimization technique that significantly improves PAPR performance to with a small amount of redundancy. However, the computational complexity in conventional PTS increases exponentially with the number of subblocks. In this paper, an intelligent optimization method is proposed for PTS technique to obtain good balance between computational complexity and PAPR performance. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance compared with conventional algorithms.
