Embodiments of a noise-shaping crest factor reduction method for a carrier signal (and a device that performs the method) include (a) clipping the carrier signal by selecting at least one carrier signal peak that has a magnitude exceeding a predetermined crest factor reduction threshold, (b) subtracting the resulting clipped signal from the carrier signal, (c) confining, by a noise shaping filter, the resulting clipping noise signal in a frequency band corresponding to that of the carrier signal, and (d) subtracting the resulting spectrally shaped clipping noise signal from a delayed version of the carrier signal. The confining process includes selecting first sub-areas of the noise shaping filter response at one or more guard bands, selecting at least one second sub-area of the noise shaping filter response elsewhere in the frequency band, and setting the first sub-areas to a first predetermined magnitude higher than the magnitude of the second sub-area.

Techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction are described. Wireless devices may use one or more PAPR shaping resources, such as expanded bandwidth and/or pulse-shaping filtering, for shaping a signal to reduce PAPR. For example, expanded bandwidth may be utilized for adding a cyclic affix (CA), such as may comprise a cyclic prefix (CP), cyclic suffix (CS), etc., and combinations thereof, to a frequency domain data signal to provide a CP augmented frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Additionally or alternatively, pulse-shaping filtering may be applied to a frequency domain signal to provide a pulse-shaped frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
