Systems and methods are disclosed herein that related to Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction in a (e.g., massive) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmitter system. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a MIMO OFDM transmitter system comprises, for each carrier of two or more carriers, performing precoding of a plurality of frequency-domain input signals for the carrier to provide a plurality of frequency-domain precoded signals for the carrier, the plurality of frequency-domain input signals for the carrier being for a plurality of transmit layers for the carrier, respectively. The method further comprises processing the frequency-domain precoded signals for the two or more carriers in accordance with a multi-carrier Convex Reduction of Amplitudes (CRAM) processing scheme to provide a plurality of multi-carrier time-domain transmit signals for a plurality of antenna branches, respectively, of the MIMO OFDM transmitter system.
