Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an extremely important technique for transmitting data in both optical wireless and optical fiber communication. Optical wireless systems are limited to transmitting real and positive values to the optical transmitter, since they rely only on the intensity of a signal to convey information. Consequently, traditional OFDM is not suitable for direct implementation in optical systems. Various altered OFDM schemes have been examined to counteract multipath distortion, such as DC-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM), asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM), asymmetrically clipped DC biased optical OFDM (ADO-OFDM) and layered asymmetrically-clipped optical OFDM  (LACO-OFDM) technique to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance and spectral efficiency of optical system. This article explores ways for reducing Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A mathematical model is formulated to account for clipping and Selective Mapping (SLM), as well as channel noise, in all of these approaches for received signal. LACO-OFDM has been determined to be a superior option when compared to other techniques. LACO-OFDM, a recently developed technique, demonstrates excellent performance in terms of PAPR, BER, and spectral efficiency. The simulation results demonstrate that the LACO-OFDM approach has greatly enhanced the spectral efficiency in comparison to previous approaches.
