The theoretical analysis results show that the proposed DHT post-coding scheme does not degrade the BER performance of the post-coded OFDM VLC systems. The analysis result is confirmed by our simulation results for random bit source. In addition, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the DHT post-coded OFDM is evaluated by simulation. The simulation results show that DHT post-coding can greatly reduce of the PAPR of the optical OFDM system. Hits: 295 Download times: 5 View Full Text    Download reader
