Abstract

The need for multiple transmit chains poses a major challenge in optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system utilising grouped light emitting diodes (LEDs) for the purpose of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction. Thus, recent study propose the use of pilot-assisted (PA) electrical PAPR reduction technique to further reduce PAPR and limit the number of transmit chains in the system. This paper presents the application of order statistics to derive the analytical solutions of PAPR distributions in the PA optical OFDM system utilising grouped LEDs. It is shown that the results obtained via analysis are in good agreement with that of computer simulations.
