Abstract: Visible light communication (VLC) offers high-speed wireless communication using the visible light spectrum. Achieving high spectral efficiency while maintaining a low bit error rate (BER) remains a challenge. This paper explores the use of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to address these challenges. Matrix laboratory (MATLAB) simulations show that QAM-OFDM achieves a BER of 0.001 at comparable signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), outperforming traditional hermitian symmetry (HS), complex signal mapping (CSM), and quad-light emitting diode (LED) complex modulation (QCM) techniques. Unlike CSM, and QCM, which increase complexity, and BER, QAM-OFDM efficiently utilizes available bandwidth, reducing errors, and enhancing spectral efficiency. The study concludes, that QAM-OFDM happens to be the optimal solution for the future VLC systems, offering better performance within both efficiency, and reliability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
