Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as an eco-friendly and low-cost technology for the next-generation communication systems. However, for VLC systems, existing works report performance degradation due to light-emitting-diode (LED) non-linearity, multipath and relative mobility between the transmitter and the receiver. Additionally, multipath and user-mobility introduce inter-symbol-interference (ISI) and frequency-domain spreading which degrades the performance of VLC systems. For such scenarios, orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is well-known to jointly addresses impairments due to multipath and user-mobility. To mitigate the distortions due to LED non-linearity, recently reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS)-based random Fourier feature (RFF) techniques have emerged which alleviate the dependence on learning a dictionary and, outperforms classical polynomial based techniques. However, performance of these techniques is sensitive to the choice of kernel-width. Thus, for the OTFS systems impaired by LED non-linearity, this manuscript proposes a hyperparameter-free RFF-based post-distorter, under finite-memory budget without the need of explicitly tuning kernel-width for best performance. Analytical bounds for the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed post-distorter are presented, and validated via simulations over realistic VLC channels. From the results it is verified that the proposed receiver achieves better BER performance over uncompensated scenario and classical baseline polynomial based technique. © 2009-2012 IEEE.
