Design and research of adaptive O-OFDM symbol decomposing with serial transmission system in visible light communication by Kejun JIA, Boran YANG, Minghua CAO, Suoping LI, Li HAO

“…Iterative signal clipping (ISC) and symbol decomposing with serial transmission (SDST) techniques decompose optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) symbol into the fixed number of multiple small-amplitude symbols.However,at low O-OFDM symbol variances,the decomposition symbols contain a large amount of all-zero symbols without load information,which results in bit error rate degradation,optical power penalty and information rate reduction.Aim at this problem,an adaptive O-OFDM symbol decomposing with serial transmission (ASDST) system was proposed,the symbol decomposition was adaptively determined according to the O-OFDM symbol amplitude.Symbol decomposition was terminated until O-OFDM symbol was completely decomposed or the maximum symbol decomposition times were attained,thereby eliminated all-zero symbols and reduced the average symbol decomposition times.The performance of ASDST system was verified by theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulation.…”
