Abstract :
We study the performance of three direct-detection orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing techniques for combating multipath distortion in indoor optical wireless links, and compare them to unipolar M-ary pulse-amplitude modulation with minimum mean-square error decision-feedback equalization.
