Visible light communication (VLC) systems utilizing conventional superposition coding/successive interference cancellation (SPC/SIC)-based non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) suffer from the error propagation effect due to imperfect SIC. In this letter, we propose a flexible-rate SIC-free NOMA tec...
