1. A method of controlling peak-to-average power ratio, PAPR, reduction for a multi-antenna transmitter, the method comprising:
determining a precoder setting for transmission of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, signal by the multi-antenna transmitter to one or more receivers, wherein the precoder setting comprises a primary portion and a PAPR reduction portion, and wherein the OFDM signal comprises data parts and non-data parts, the non-data parts comprising reference parts; and
allocating, for at least some of the non-data parts, a first power to the PAPR reduction portion for sub-carriers conveying the non-data parts and allocating a second power to the PAPR reduction portion for other sub-carriers, wherein the first power per sub-carrier is lower than the second power per sub-carrier.
