Box 3055 STN CSC Victoria BC Canada V8W 3P6 Email agullive@ Received 31 March 2004 Revised 28 August 2004 We propose a novel differential amplitude pulse-position modulation DAPPM for indoor optical wireless communications. DAPPM yields advantages over PPM DPPM and DH-PIMa in terms of bandwidth requirements capacity and peak-to-average power ratio PAPR . The performance of a DAPPM system with an unequalized receiver is examined over nondispersive and dispersive channels. DAPPM can provide better bandwidth and or power efficiency than PAM PPM DPPM and DH-PIMa depending on the number of amplitude levels A and the maximum length L of a symbol. We also show that given the same maximum length DAPPM has better bandwidth efficiency but requires about 1 dB and dB more power than PPM and DPPM respectively at high bit rates over a dispersive channel. Conversely DAPPM requires less power than DH-PIM2. When the number of bits per symbol is the same PAM requires more power and DH-PIM2 less power than DAPPM. Finally it is shown that the performance of DAPPM can be improved with MLSD chip-rate DFE and multichip-rate DFE.
