Abstract: Performance analysis of colour coded multiple access (CCMA) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) visible light communication (VLC) System is discussed in this paper. First, characteristics of optical OFDM are studied. Second, CCMA is achieved using three laser diodes (LD): red, green and blue LDs. Finally, OFDM-modulated signals are optically modulated with red, green and blue LDs (RGB LDs). Then these three optical signals are combined together to form white light which illuminates as well as provides high-speed data transmission. The performance of the proposed CCMA OFDM VLC system is studied using constellation diagrams, signals and spectrum comparisons. The system is simulated for the data rate of 10 Gbps.

Keywords: colour coded multiple access; high data rate; laser diodes; orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; red; green blue laser diodes; visible light communication.
