Precoded Chebyshev-NLMS based pre-distorter for nonlinear LED compensation in NOMA-VLC
Visible light communication (VLC) is one of the main technologies driving the
future 5G communication systems due to its ability to support high data rates
with low power consumption, thereby facilitating high speed green
communications. To further increase the capacity of VLC systems, a technique
called non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been suggested to cater to
increasing demand for bandwidth, whereby users' signals are superimposed prior
to transmission and detected at each user equipment using successive
interference cancellation (SIC). Some recent results on NOMA exist which
greatly enhance the achievable capacity as compared to orthogonal multiple
access techniques. However, one of the performance-limiting factors affecting
VLC systems is the nonlinear characteristics of a light emitting diode (LED).
This paper considers the nonlinear LED characteristics in the design of
pre-distorter for cognitive radio inspired NOMA in VLC, and proposes singular
value decomposition based Chebyshev precoding to improve performance of
nonlinear multiple-input multiple output NOMA-VLC. A novel and generalized
power allocation strategy is also derived in this work, which is valid even in
scenarios when users experience similar channels. Additionally, in this work,
analytical upper bounds for the bit error rate of the proposed detector are
derived for square -quadrature amplitude modulation.Comment: R. Mitra and V. Bhatia are with Indian Institute of Technology

Visible Light Communication (VLC)
Visible light communication (VLC) using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDs) has been envisioned as one of the key enabling technologies for 6G and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, owing to its appealing advantages, including abundant and unregulated spectrum resources, no electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation and high security. However, despite its many advantages, VLC faces several technical challenges, such as the limited bandwidth and severe nonlinearity of opto-electronic devices, link blockage and user mobility. Therefore, significant efforts are needed from the global VLC community to develop VLC technology further. This Special Issue, “Visible Light Communication (VLC)”, provides an opportunity for global researchers to share their new ideas and cutting-edge techniques to address the above-mentioned challenges. The 16 papers published in this Special Issue represent the fascinating progress of VLC in various contexts, including general indoor and underwater scenarios, and the emerging application of machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) techniques in VLC
Optical Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access for Visible Light Communication
The proliferation of mobile Internet and connected devices, offering a
variety of services at different levels of performance, represents a major
challenge for the fifth generation wireless networks and beyond. This requires
a paradigm shift towards the development of key enabling techniques for the
next generation wireless networks. In this respect, visible light communication
(VLC) has recently emerged as a new communication paradigm that is capable of
providing ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency
communications. One of the main challenges of VLC systems, however, is the low
modulation bandwidth of the light-emitting-diodes, which is in the megahertz
range. This article presents a promising technology, referred to as "optical-
non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA)", which is envisioned to address the
key challenges in the next generation of wireless networks. We provide a
detailed overview and analysis of the state-of-the-art integration of O-NOMA in
VLC networks. Furthermore, we provide insights on the potential opportunities
and challenges as well as some open research problems that are envisioned to
pave the way for the future design and implementation of O-NOMA in VLC systems
Capacity Analysis and Throughput Maximization of NOMA with Nonlinear Power Amplifier Distortion
In future B5G/6G broadband communication systems, non-linear signal
distortion caused by the impairment of transmit power amplifier (PA) can
severely degrade the communication performance, especially when uplink users
share the wireless medium using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) schemes.
This is because the successive interference cancellation (SIC) decoding
technique, used in NOMA, is incapable of eliminating the interference caused by
PA distortion. Consequently, each user's decoding process suffers from the
cumulative distortion noise of all uplink users. In this paper, we establish a
new and tractable PA distortion signal model based on real-world measurements,
where the distortion noise power is a polynomial function of PA transmit power
diverging from the oversimplified linear function commonly employed in existing
studies. Applying the proposed signal model, we characterize the capacity rate
region of multi-user uplink NOMA by optimizing the user transmit power. Our
findings reveal a significant contraction in the capacity region of NOMA,
attributable to polynomial distortion noise power. For practical engineering
applications, we formulate a general weighted sum rate maximization (WSRMax)
problem under individual user rate constraints. We further propose an efficient
power control algorithm to attain the optimal performance. Numerical results
show that the optimal power control policy under the proposed non-linear PA
model achieves on average 13\% higher throughput compared to the policies
assuming an ideal linear PA model. Overall, our findings demonstrate the
importance of accurate PA distortion modeling to the performance of NOMA and
provide efficient optimal power control method accordingly.Comment: The paper has been submitted for potential journal publication
Near-Optimal Detection of CE-OFDM Signals with High Power Efficiency via GAMP-based Receivers
Proceeding of: 2022 IEEE Globecom Workshops (GC Wkshps), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 4-8 December 2022A quasi-optimum receiver based on the generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) concept is proposed for constant envelope orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CE-OFDM) signals. Large modulation index results in large power efficiency for CE-OFDM, but the phase modulator introduces nonlinear distortion effects, precluding good performance for a simple phase detector. Our simulation results show that the GAMP receiver can achieve quasi-optimum performance and it can outperform the linear OFDM and CE-OFDM with phase detectors, for both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency selective channels.This work received funding from the European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ETN TeamUp5G, grant agreement No. 813391, the Spanish National Project IRENE-EARTH (PID2020-115323RB-C33) (MINECO/AEI/FEDER, UE) and Portuguese FCT Instituto de Telecomunicaçoes project UIDB/50008/2020
