Abstract
sIn visible light communication (VLC) systems, a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme is deemed promising technology to offer better spectral efficiency than the Orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme. The feasibility of power domain NOMA for VLC system has been studied with different variants of unipolar OFDM schemes. However, few research works have been presented on the impact of clipping noise on the achievable sum rate of NOMA with DC-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and polarity divided DCO-OFDM (PD-DCO-OFDM). This paper presents the impact of clipping noise on the achievable sum rate of NOMA-DCO-OFDM and NOMA-PD-DCO-OFDM VLC systems. Moreover, NOMA-DCO-OFDM and NOMA-PD-DCO-OFDM systems are compared based on achievable sum rates for different total power constraints and signal clipping levels. For the two-user scenario, Simulation results have confirmed that NOMA-PD-DCO-OFDM can offer a better sum rate compared to NOMA-DCO-OFDM system.
