Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CPOFDM) is a 5G multicarrier waveform that enables high data rates and spectrum efficiency improvements. The primary drawback of CPOFDM is that it has a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR), which is a characteristic of all multicarrier modulation techniques. We study the application of a Group Codeword Shift (GCS) approach to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in a CPOFDM system in this article. Additionally, we compared the results of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction with low complexity in CPOFDM using a Group Codeword Shift (GCS) approach, Selective Codeword Shift (SCS), Median Codeword and Conventional CPOFDM.
