Computer simulation studies are carried out to compare SC and MC VLC communication systems in underwater optical LOS and N-LOS channel environments based on bit error rate (BER) success benchmark. From the acquired outcomes, it is perceived that SC-VLC communication system has approximately 8 dB better performance than MC-VLC communication system in both channel environments.}, number={Special}, publisher={Ali KARCI}
