This paper addresses the optimization problem on subcarrier and power allocation of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system under spectral efficiency (SE) metric when deploying superposition coding (SC) transmission strategy. An algorithm with polynomial time complexity, of the order of (UN log 2(N)) has been proposed for sub-optimal SE maximization. Results indicate that the system SE increases with the use of SC technique. Besides, the throughput gain with SC adoption increases when the number of users (U) approaches the number of subcarriers (N) available in the system.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be an effective solution to the limited bandwidth of light emitting diodes for visible light communication (VLC) systems to support multiuser communication. The current available works for NOMA VLC systems mainly concentrate on downlinks and the existing power allocation algorithms mainly focus on the channel state information and ignore the influence of transmitted signals. In this paper, we propose a channel and bit adaptive power control strategy for uplink NOMA VLC systems by jointly considering the channel state information and the transmission bit rate. Under this adaptive power control strategy, it is proved that the received signal at the photodiode (PD) receiver constitutes a sizeable pulse amplitude modulation constellation and low-complexity maximum likelihood detection is admitted. The simulation results indicate that our proposed adaptive power control strategy outperforms the gain ratio power allocation scheme, fixed power allocation scheme, and time division multiple access scheme.
