Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a distributed digital pre-equalization (DPE) technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based bandlimited visible light communication (VLC) systems. In the VLC system applying distributed DPE, the subcarriers are divided into two bands, where the bandwidth and the power of each band can be flexibly adjusted to maximize the achievable data rate of the system. Hence, distributed DPE exhibits much higher tolerance against light-emitting diode (LED) nonlinearity than conventional centralized DPE. Experimental results verify the superiority of distributed DPE for OFDM-based bandlimited VLC systems. More specifically, a data rate of 976.6 Mbit/s is achieved by using distributed DPE, which corresponds to an achievable rate improvement of 25% in comparison to centralized DPE.Keywords
