Abstract

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are employed in a visible light communication (VLC) system to increase the capacity of the system. The system is evaluated using two different scenarios focusing on power and data rate, where the first scenario is based on fair power allocation while the second scenario provides equal power allocation. Data rate variation is evaluated as a function of the users positioning and mobility. In both scenarios the proposed NOMA-WDM system achieved higher data rate NOMA system.
