The proposed protocol exploits the features of enhanced unipolar orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (eU-OFDM) scheme in order to enable user terminals to sequentially access the multi-hop network. The signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for user terminals within the network are derived and the individual bit-error-rate (BER) expressions are presented. We evaluate the BER performances of each user in the network through Monte Carlo simulation. The theoretical results validates the simulation results.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessConference paper10.1109/ICAICT.2016.7991756eU-OFDMMultiple accessMulti-hop relayingVisible light communication2-s2.0-85034231623
