Abstract

A least squares-based channel estimation algorithm is proposed for optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based multiuser multiple input single output visible light communications. The pilot sequence and pilot tones are optimized to derive the minimum-mean-square error of the channel estimation. Each user estimates the channel independently, and sends the estimates of the channels to the transmitter. Based on the estimated channels, zero-forcing precoding is applied at the transmitter to achieve the spatial multiplexing gain. The simulated performances of channel estimation and data detection are provided.
