In this paper, the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in the low complex version of the generalized frequency division multiplexing (LC-GFDM) is handled by developing a novel PAPR reduction method called cumulative symbol optimization-selective mapping (CSO-SLM). With this new method, the disadvantage caused by the symbol addition process that greatly reduces the SLM performance in the LC-GFDM transmitter was eliminated thanks to the combination of SLM technique with the cumulative symbol optimization procedure. In order to demonstrate the benefit of integrating the CSO procedure into the SLM scheme, our proposed CSO-SLM strategy was compared to the conventional SLM technique with regard to both PAPR reduction and power spectral density (PSD) performance in the simulations. Moreover, the CSO-partial transmit sequence (CSO-PTS) technique, which was specially developed for the LC-GFDM system as the CSO-SLM strategy, and a robust PAPR reduction method named GreenOFDM were also used for comparison. According to the simulation results, the proposed CSO-SLM technique clearly outperforms each of the benchmark strategies considered in this paper by leaving them behind with regard to the amounts of PAPR and PSD improvements achieved in the LC-GFDM transmission signal.
