You can't prevent anyone from sending you requests, however you can limit the ability from having random people to add you by:

1. Go to Settings>Privacy

2. Edit the settings for "Who can look me up" from Everyone to Friends

3. Edit the settings for "Who can contact me">"Who can send you friend requests?" from Everyone to Friends of Friends
