Abstract
In this paper, a flexible non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme, called non-orthogonal hybrid optical OFDM (NOHO-OFDM), is proposed to increase the achievable data rate of the visible light communication system with high efficiency. In addition, a receiver with iteratively successive interference cancellation (ISIC) is investigated, which can reduce the estimation error. Then, the achievable data rate of the proposed NOHO-OFDM with the ISIC scheme is analyzed. Experiment results show that the bit error rate of the NOHO-OFDM can be significantly reduced by the proposed ISIC scheme, and the NOHO-OFDM is superior than the orthogonal scheme in terms of data rates. Meanwhile, simulation results show that the achievable data rate region of the proposed NOHO-OFDM scheme is larger than that of the orthogonal counterpart.
