Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based
optical wireless communication (OWC) is a viable
technology and has been widely applied in indoor as well as
outdoor communication. Atmospheric scintillation and
backscattering are the main impairments in OWC.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has
been widely used in the optical wireless communication.
Nevertheless, due to both frequency offset and phase noise,
the performance of OFDM can severely be affected. The
combined effect of atmospheric scintillation, backscattering,
frequency offset and phase noise has been investigated in
OFDM based OWC. As the value of backscattering power
and atmospheric scintillation increase, the BER also increases
and thus degradation of performance occurs.

Introduction
The demand of portable wireless communication
device is increasing when the available bandwidth is
limited. Optical wireless communications (OWC) offer
a feasible alternative to radio frequency (RF) communication for indoor as well as outdoor applications [D.
Kedar and S. Arnon 2003, R. M S R. Pir and M. M. Hasan
2011]. The main reasons for suitability of an OWC are
enormous amount of unregulated bandwidth, no
license requirement, low cost transceivers and no
interference with sensitive electronic system [D. Tsonev,
S. Sinanovic and H. Haas 2012, Z. Ghassemlooy 2003].
The OFDM system is characterized by superior
flexibility due to high spectral efficiency, high tolerance to multi-path interference, channel dispersion
and frequency-selective fading [I. B. Djordjevic, B. Vasic
and M. A. Neifeld 2007, E. Vanin 2011]. Subcarrier
