The proposed techniques are based on merging non-linear companding techniques with precoding techniques. This work aims to nominate an optimum novel scheme combining the low peak-to-average power ratio with the acceptable bit error rate performance. Asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with the low peak-to-average power ratio performance becomes more attractive to real-life visible light communication applications due to non-linearity elimination. The proposed schemes are compared and an optimum choice is nominated. Comparing the presented work and related literature reviews for peak-to-average power ratio reduction techniques are held to ensure the proposed schemes validity and effectiveness.}, type={Article}, title={PAPR reduction using a combination between precoding and non-linear companding techniques for ACO-OFDM-based VLC systems}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118752/PDF/OPELRE_2021_29_2_N_A_Mohammed.pdf}, doi={10.24425/opelre.2021.135829}, keywords={visible light communication, light emitting diode, peak-to-average power ratio, bit error rate}, }
