Abstract

Optical Wireless Communication networks (OWC) has emerged as a promising technology that enables high-speed and reliable communication bandwidth for a variety of applications. In this work, we investigated applying Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) over NOMA-based OWC networks to improve the performance of the proposed high density indoor optical wireless network where users are divided into multicast groups, and each group contains users that slightly differ in their channel gains. Moreover, a fixed power allocation strategy is considered to manage interference among these groups and to avoid complexity. The performance of the proposed RLNC-NOMA scheme is evaluated in terms of average bit error rate and ergodic sum rate versus the power allocation ratio factor. The results show that the proposed scheme is more suitable for the considered network compared to the traditional NOMA and orthogonal transmission schemes.
