| Summary: | In this paper, we evaluate the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems applied with a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based indoor visible light communication (VLC). We present two efficient user-pairing algorithms for NOMA in VLC, aiming to enhance achievable data rates effectively. Our investigation involves the application of three low-complexity power allocation techniques. Comparative analysis reveals performance enhancements when employing the proposed schemes, especially when contrasted with NOMA without user pairing and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). Additionally, we explore the performance of both algorithms in scenarios with both even and odd numbers of users. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of NOMA in comparison to OFDMA.
