Wireless communication systems that rely on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) suffer from a high peak-to-average (power) ratio (PAR), which necessitates power-inefficient radio-frequency (RF) chains to avoid an increase in error-vector magnitude (EVM) and out-of-band (OOB) emissions. The situation is further aggravated in massive multiuser (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems that would require hundreds of linear RF chains. In this paper, we present a novel approach to joint precoding and PAR reduction that builds upon a novel ℓ^p-ℓ^q-norm formulation, which is able to find minimum PAR solutions while suppressing MU interference. We provide a theoretical underpinning of our approach and provide simulation results for a massive MU-MIMO-OFDM system that demonstrate significant reductions in PAR at low complexity, without causing an increase in EVM or OOB emissions.
