description This paper proposes a new hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) form termed as DC-biased pulse amplitude modulated optical OFDM (DPO-OFDM) by combining the ideas of the existing DC-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and pulse amplitude modulated discrete multitone (PAM-DMT). The analysis indicates that the required DC-bias for DPO-OFDM-based light fidelity (LiFi) depends on the dimming level and the components of the DPO-OFDM. The bit error rate (BER) performance and dimming flexibility of the DPO-OFDM and existing OFDM schemes are evaluated using MATLAB tools. The results show that the proposed DPO-OFDM is power efficient and has a wide dimming range. Furthermore, a switching algorithm is introduced for LiFi, where the individual components of the hybrid OFDM are switched according to a target dimming level. Next, machine learning algorithms are used for the first time to find the appropriate proportions of the hybrid OFDM components. It is shown that polynomial regression of degree 4 can reliably predict the constellation size of the DCO-OFDM component of DPO-OFDM for a given constellation size of PAM-DMT. With the component switching and the machine learning algorithms, DPO-OFDM-based LiFi is power efficient at a wide dimming range.
