description <p dir="ltr">The accurate estimation of underwater Visible Light Communication (VLC) channel conditions is challenging due to its widespread attenuation and scattering effects. The channel attenuation is a linear function of frequency and causes exponential signal power loss whereas due to the scattering effect, numerous photons are statistically generated as light beams strike water molecules and there arise security concerns. Assuming realistic underwater conditions, this paper investigates the security performance of a typical Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)-assisted underwater VLC system. It consists of a Floating Vehicle Transmitter (FVT), equipped with multiple Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to transmit the signal to two legitimate near-end and far-end Underwater Vehicles (UVs) in presence of an active/passive eavesdropper. The Channel State Information (CSI) of each transmitting link is estimated with the use of a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) technique. Furthermore, we propose a LED selection mechanism to select an LED that can achieve the highest secrecy rate defined under the constraints of known and unknown CSI of legitimate and/or eavesdropping links. Using the Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) technique, a novel closed-form secrecy outage probability expressions for the conventional single-LED and multi-LED NOMA-VLC links for both known and unknown CSI scenarios is derived. The security performance of the proposed multi-LED NOMA-VLC system is compared with the conventional single-LED NOMA-VLC system under the effect of air bubbles for both fresh and salty water. Finally, we verify the validity of the numerical results through Monte-carlo simulation analysis.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: IEEE Access<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2022.3218049" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2022.3218049</a></p>
