We investigate the use of single carrier frequency domain equalization SCFDE over a diffuse optical wireless DOW communications. Recently orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM has been applied to DOW communications. However due to high peak-to-average power ratio PAPR the performance of OFDM can severely be affected by the nonlinear characteristics of light emitting diodes LED . To avoid a PAPR problem we present in this paper a modified form of SCFDE for DOW communications. We propose three different ways of using SCFDE with DOW communications and show that they exhibit lower PAPR and provide better bit-error rate BER performance in the presence of the LED nonlinearity. 1. Introduction Due the increase in the number of portable information terminals in work and at home the demand for highspeed indoor wireless communication has been growing. Recently the optical spectrum which has virtually unlimited bandwidth has been receiving growing interest for use in indoor wireless data transmission 1 2 . Diffuse optical wireless DOW .
