Abstract: This paper proposes a novel polar coding scheme tailored for indoor visible light communication (VLC) systems. Simulation results demonstrate a significant reduction in bit error rate (BER) compared to uncoded transmission, with a coding gain of at least 5 dB. Furthermore, the reliable communication area of the VLC system is substantially extended. Building on this foundation, this study explores the joint design of polar codes and physical-layer network coding (PNC) for VLC systems. Simulation results illustrate that the BER of our scheme closely approaches that of the conventional VLC relay scheme. Moreover, our approach doubles the throughput, cuts equipment expenses in half, and boosts effective bit rates per unit time-slot twofold. This proposed design noticeably advances the performance of VLC systems and is particularly well-suited for scenarios with low-latency demands.
