Following the user's request, I have expanded the text while preserving its core concepts. Below is the revised version:

I have implemented a comprehensive simulation of the Selective Mapping (SLM) method in OFDM systems, accompanied by detailed graphical results. This simulation is particularly useful for those beginning to study Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction techniques. The SLM method is an effective approach for reducing PAPR in OFDM systems, which typically involves generating multiple candidate signals by applying different phase sequences to the original data, then selecting the signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission.

Through this simulation, we demonstrate how the SLM method reduces system PAPR, thereby improving overall system performance and reliability. The graphical results clearly illustrate the impact of SLM on PAPR reduction. By comparing simulation outcomes under different parameter configurations - such as varying the number of candidate signals or phase sequence designs - we can identify optimal SLM configurations. The implementation typically involves generating random phase rotations using functions like rand() or predefined phase sets, calculating PAPR for each candidate using max() and mean() operations, and selecting the optimal signal through comparison algorithms.

I hope this expanded information proves helpful for understanding SLM implementation and PAPR reduction in OFDM systems.
