Power efficient FLIP-OFDM using precoding PAPR reduction scheme for IoT VLC systems
摘要
Rapid advancements in 5G and the internet of things (IoT) have significantly increased global mobile network traffic as they require very high bandwidth. Consequently, there is growing interest in alternative communication technologies like visible light communication (VLC) that has a vast bandwidth in addition to the advantage of low implementation costs, and more secure system, since it achieves high immunity to electromagnetic interference, which is a very needed requirement in IoT. But despite all these advantages, VLC faces challenges like high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that results from the superposition of transmitted peaks of several subcarriers. PAPR is considered one of the high-priority issues, especially in the VLC systems, as we always aim to keep the LED working within its linear range to prevent LED damage or burn. So, This paper studied, simulated, and designed a proposed optical modulation scheme named precoding Flip-OFDM (PF-OFDM), to mitigate this issue in VLC systems by suggesting a PAPR precoding reduction scheme like discrete sine transform (DST), and discrete cosine transform (DCT), while evaluating the system BER. The proposed PF-OFDM substantially reduces PAPR without compromising the system BER performance as it requires energy per bit to noise ratio at BER=
