Near-Optimal Low-Complexity Sequence Detection for Clipped DCO-OFDM

The inherent high peak-to-average power ratio issue of dc-biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) is sensitive to the limited dynamic region of light emitting diode component and prone to clipping distortion, which deteriorates the performance of visible light communication systems. This letter proposes a maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) method for the clipped DCO-OFDM, whereas the double-sided clipping characteristic is incorporated to improve the performance. Besides that, a near-optimal low-complexity MLSD method is presented to reduce the calculation complexity. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed low-complexity MLSD receiver could approach the performance of ideal case of non-clipped DCO-OFDM.
