Reduced complexity precoding based peak-to-average power ratio reduction applied to optical direct-detection OFDM

DCT based precoding is proposed for PAPR reduction to improve the performance of optical OFDM at limited precoding complexity. Effective PAPR reduction and the resultant OSNR performance are shown.
