Popis: In this paper, Li-Fi system based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Li-Fi-OFDM) is presented. In these systems, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used to send information data using intensity modulation. LEDs have a limited dynamic range and the voltage-current characteristic shows a nonlinear behavior. Li-Fi-OFDM signal is used to drive these transmitter LEDs. However, LEDs chip overheating and nonlinear distortions occur, due to high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signal. The proposed approach develops a new PAPR reduction method of OFDM in Li-Fi systems based on time-domain windowing techniques. Several windows such as rectangular, Hanning and raised cosine methods have been applied to the OFDM time-domain signal in order to reduce its PAPR while maintain acceptable bit error rate (BER) performance at receiver side. The simulation results of the work have shown the advantages of the offered method; the proposed scheme achieves a significant PAPR reduction compare to the unwindowed signals. Our proposed system also slightly improves the BER performance for all windowing methods employed.
