end fraction of the OFDM frame. The prefix is longer than the
estimated delay spread in the channel; this mitigates the
detrimental effect caused by the dispersive channel by
localizing it in a non-information bearing prefix of the OFDM
symbol which is later removed upon reception. The timedomain optical OFDM symbol waveform is real and bipolar.
To ensure a unipolar signal to meet IM/DD requirements, a
DC-offset is added in the DC-coupled optical OFDM (DCOOFDM) scheme. The generation and recovery of the DCOOFDM scheme is straightforward. A DC-offset (implemented
in practice as a dc-bias current to drive the LED transmitter) is
added to the generated time-domain waveform to lift the signal
into a unipolar region and is then transmitted. The total data
rate for a DCO-OFDM transmission is given by

where and BDC are both real-valued. The forward signal y(t)
drives the LED which in turn converts the magnitude of the
input electric signal r(t) into optical intensity. The human eye
cannot perceive fast changing variations of the light intensity,
and only responds to the average light intensity. Also, linear
scaling and biasing model are adopted to ensure the forward
signal is within the dynamic range of the LED [12]. The value
BDC is the biasing level added to x(t) to ensure a unipolar
OFDM signal at the LED input, and is the parameter to scale
x(t) within the dynamic range of LED. After the scaling and
biasing operation, the resulting signal y(t) will have a mean
value BDC and a variance y2= 2 x2 where x2 is the variance

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
A. Simulation Setup
The simulation flowchart of our investigation is shown in
Fig. 1. Data bits are randomly generated and converted from
serial to parallel to form symbols for M-QAM. The QAM
symbols are then modulated by IFFT to transform the symbols
into time-domain samples. A CP is inserted before the parallelto-serial conversion takes place. The signal is then converted to
the analog waveform using a DAC. After shifting the signal to
passband, symbol-by-symbol DC bias is added to conform with
the non-negativity constraint. The resultant signal modulates a
light source and is transmitted over the WOC channel. The
reverse process is carried out at the receiver after removing the
DC bias.
B. Results and Discussion
In this section, the parameters that are affecting the
performance of DCO-OFDM in VLC system are investigated.
The impact of LED nonlinearity degree (or knee factor), k, on
LED input-output relation is depicted in Fig. 2.

Fig. 5. IFFT output and the continuous signal after D/A conversion
A large IFFT size results in a narrow bandwidth of each subcarrier, which corresponds to a longer symbol period where the
influence of nonlinearity grows with an increase in the symbol
period. This increases tolerance against ISI due to delay spread.
However, the contribution of ISI in VLC systems is not as
severe as an RF system, because the frequency response of
VLC channel falls-off relatively slowly. Fig. 7 shows the
PAPR performance of OFDM signal in VLC system for
different IFFT sizes. It can be seen that the PAPR of the timedomain VLC signal grows with the number of IFFT points i.e.
the PAPR is higher for a large number of subcarriers. We also
observe that the PAPR increases with increasing the number
of subcarriers for all of the constellations. In addition, large
FFT/IFFT size is obtained at the expense of higher
computational complexity.
