Abstract

We propose a power efficient multiple access scheme for visible light communications (VLC) based on the block interleaved frequency division multiple access (B-IFDMA) which provides large frequency-diversity, flexible bandwidth allocation, low complexity of channel equalization, and user separation. Bidirectional B-IFDMA VLC transmission is experimentally demonstrated to verify its feasibility. The impact of the number of subcarriers per block on the transmission performance under wireless optical channel is investigated.
