For asymmetric clipping at zero both the multicarrier transmission schemes are tailored after OFDM modulation. The result of simulation shows that O-OFDM-IDMA is very power efficient in comparison to O-OFDMA for higher throughput values for the exceeding threshold value at a cost of higher decoding and computational complexity involved. The PAPR variation is not much significant for O-OFDM-IDMA and O-OFDMA. These results can be used as a basis for designing future Visible Light Communication based networks. %U https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/ijet/article/view/21578
