... are the samples after the Decision Process (DP). Also, there are different types of decision processes as in [23][24][25], however, the ML algorithm can be classified as a simpler process than other decision methods with a good BER enhancement. In our study, we assume the traditional ACO-OFDM system decision process is ML for a fair comparison with our proposed systems. ...
... Since complexity is a critical factor for O-OFDM systems and reducing PAPR always comes at a cost [16], we calculate the (2Nlog 2 N). Moreover, the proposed μ-NCT+MoRoC method provides N/(2log 2 N) times lower complexity than the existing different RX design techniques [24] and [28]. It can be concluded that without increasing the complexity, the proposed μ-NCT+MoRoC method can achieve significant PAPR enhancement than other compared methods that do not use side information. ...

This paper demonstrates the advantage of application of time domain diversity combining (TDDC) at the transmitter over the time domain diversity combining receiver (TDDR) for a single layer of ACO-OFDM in terms of reduced complexity. The paper further demonstrates the implementation of time domain delay-and-advanced operation with TDDC at the transmitter for a two-layered LACO-OFDM system, where all the subcarriers are utilized and an improved BER performance is achieved. The new improved 2-LACO-OFDM system achieves 2.7 dB, 3.3 dB and 3.7dB better optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) than the ACO-TDDC, 2-LACO-TDDC, 3-LACO-TDDC respectively.

An iterative pairwise maximum likelihood (ML) receiver is proposed for asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) in visible light communications (VLC). With the aid of the pairwise ML detection, half of the received ACO-OFDM samples are forced to zero in time domain. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low, the pairwise ML detection may cause misjudgment. With the iterative pairwise ML detection, the ACO-OFDM symbols are detected in frequency domain and the SNR gain of 3dB could be available. Simulation results show that the pairwise ML receiver without iteration provides the SNR improvement of 1.5~2.7 dB for 7% forward error correction (FEC) limit. The proposed iterative receiver gives a SNR gain of 2.6~2.9 dB with 7% FEC limit.

We propose a superposition based light emitting diode (LED) nonlinearity mitigation scheme for asymmetrically clipped optical-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) optical wireless communications (OWC) systems, where a non-redundant signal stream is superimposed with an ACO-OFDM source signal stream, requiring no pilot and no side information. Based on the anti-symmetry property that a non-redundant signal and its symmetric signal is equal to zero with the same absolute value, a non-redundant signal is used to reduce the large amplitude of the ACO-OFDM signal and enhance its symmetric ACO-OFDM signal that is clipped to zero due to negative signal clipping, allowing LED nonlinearity mitigation. The proposed scheme is also energy-efficient, as the large-amplitude signal reduction is equal to the symmetric signal enhancement, requiring no extra power. However, the designed non-redundant signals fall on odd subcarriers and interfere with source signals. The even subcarriers include the absolute value of source signals, which can be utilized to recover source signals. The polarity of source signals on even subcarriers can be determined by ensuring that the remaining part is higher than the clipping part of the large-amplitude signal in the process of LED nonlinearity mitigation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms a number of state-of-the-art methods in the literature as well as ACO-OFDM systems with no LED nonlinearity mitigation in terms of bit error rate (BER).

A new diversity combining receiver is proposed for asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM). With the aid of symmetry recovering the odd and even signals of ACO-OFDM are distinguished directly in time domain without complex operation such as inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). Simulation results show that the diversity combining receiver we proposed gives a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement of 2∼3 dB. The receiver proposed also has the same SNR gain as the conventional diversity combining receiver distinguishing the odd and even signals in frequency domain.
