Efficient utilization of the spectrum, increased resilience to inter-symbol interference (ISI) and simpler channel equalization are becoming important considerations in the design of wireless communication systems including visible light communication (VLC) systems. In this regard, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become a preferred modulation technique in wireless communication systems design. However, one of its major challenges is the high peak-to-average power ratio that leads to major inefficiencies. Symbol position permutation (SPP) is a distortion-less technique that achieves substantial PAPR reduction without BER degradation. However, the existing works focus on PAPR reduction using SPP for the radio frequency (RF) OFDM and the use of this technique in optical OFDM is not properly investigated. Therefore, in this paper, we present a new PAPR reduction technique based on …
