Popis: Communication-based vehicle safety applications have emerged as one of the best solutions to enhance road safety. In this area, visible light communication (VLC) has great potential for such applications, named Vehicular VLC (V-VLC). V-VLC is preferred due to its highly secure, low complexity, and radio frequency (RF) interference-free characteristics, exploiting the line of sight (LoS) propagation of visible light and usage of already existing vehicle light-emitting diodes. This research addresses the application of the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique in V-VLC based vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In this study, we proposed a system integrating NOMA in V-VLC networks and comprehensively provided an analysis of the system. Subsequently, we derived theoretical achievable capacity and an exact bit error rate expression for the proposed scenario. This paper also covers discussions about system performance under the non-ideal NOAM at the receiver, the effect of transmitter-receiver distance, and the impact of different weather conditions. The derived analytical BER and channel capacity expressions are verified with the simulation results.
