Wireless communication is one of the significant features of modern communication systems. In next-generation wireless communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most commonly used radio access schemes because of its low symbol rate and affinity to different transmission bandwidth arrangements. This system we are currently using as a radio access technique in the latest cellular communication system as long-term evaluation (LTE)in the 3 GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) wireless communication. Nevertheless, the peak-to-average power ratio of the OFDM signal is a significant drawback as it restricts the efficiency of the transmitter. high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is the major drawback in the OFDM systems it causes a nonlinear distortion in transmitted OFDM signal when it travels through a nonlinear amplifier. In this paper, we are discussing problems in the OFDM system i.e. Peak to Average Power Ratio also called PAPR. It affects the performance and efficiency of power amplifiers, Different algorithms have been developed to overcome PAPR viz. clipping, SLM (Selective Mapping), PTS (Partial Transmit Sequence), and the overall analysis of different techniques.
