    Constellation of QAM-32 before and after shaping.
    V-I curve of red LED.
    Experimental setup of the VLC system employing constellation-shaping CAP and CMMA.
    Measured BER of CAP-32 versus different input signal Vpps at Vleds equal 3.5 and 1.9 V. (a) Constellation of normal QAM-32. (b) Constellation of shaping QAM-32.
    Measured BER of CAP-32 and CAP-16 versus different input signal Vpps at a Vled equal 3.5 V. (a) CAP-16, (b) shaping CAP-16, (c) CAP-32, and (d) shaping CAP-32.
    Measured BER performance and working range of CAP-32 versus different Vleds and Vpps (a,c) without constellation shaping, and (b,d) with constellation shaping.
