Spectral-Efficient Reconstructed LACO-OFDM Transmission for Dimming Compatible Visible Light Communications by Baolong Li, Wei Xu, Simeng Feng, Zhengquan Li

“…In this paper, we conceive a reconstructed LACO-OFDM (RLACO-OFDM) scheme incorporating the PWM technique for VLC to accommodate the dimming demands for indoor illumination, while maintaining a spectral-efficient communication link. Moreover, superior to its counterparts, the transmitted symbols in the RLACO-OFDM based VLC system can be readily recovered by a standard LACO-OFDM receiver while no additional detection of the PWM signal is required, which reduces the receiver complexity. …”
