Dimming Control

To enhance commercial implementation, visible light communication (VLC) should facilitate dimming control and reliable data transmission simultaneously, where users can adjust the brightness levels arbitrarily. Constant weight code (CWC) based dimming method can achieve higher spectral efficiency, but the codewords need further selection to exponentially map the massage. In this paper, based on CWC, we proposed a method to achieve dimming control as well as improve error performance via optimizing the average Hamming distance of the codeword set. Simulation results show that the optimal codeword set can achieve better error performance.

Dimming Control

As a novel mode of indoor wireless communication, visible light communication (VLC) should consider the illumination functions besides the primary communication function. Dimming control is one of the most crucial illumination functions for VLC systems. However, the transmission efficiency of most proposed dimming control schemes changes as the dimming factor changes. A block coding-based dimming control scheme has been proposed for constant transmission efficiency VLC systems, but there is still room for improvement in dimming range and error performance. In this paper, we propose a dimming control scheme based on extensional constant weight codeword sets to achieve constant transmission efficiency. Meanwhile, we also provide a low implementation complexity decoding algorithm for the scheme. Finally, comparisons show that the proposed scheme can provide a wider dimming range and better error performance.

Dimming Control

Abstract Visible light communication (VLC) has recently drawn more attention due to the existing light sources having a bandwidth that can deliver data transmission at higher bit rates. To maintain desired brightness levels along with reliable data transmission, VLC requires to control dimming levels. In this paper, a dimming control scheme based on pulse position modulation (PPM) is proposed, which constructs a dimming encoded frame per symbol of input data. The scheme utilizes multiple headers, which is selected depending on the dimming levels and the number of bits in a symbol of input data. The proposed scheme for the VLC system supports various dimming levels. The multi header PPM frame generation for input data K = 4 $K=4$ and dimming values α = 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5 is simulated using NI Labview. The proposed dimming scheme has an excellent short-run length property which is well under the maximum flickering time period and is thus capable of flicker mitigation. The slot error performance of the proposed dimming control scheme in a VLC system for varying dimming levels is simulated in Matlab. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has excellent error performance for a low dimming value of α = 0.25. The experimental results are also carried out in the optisystem considering the practical measured parameters of the indoor environment for free space channel and simulating the VLC system for the proposed scheme. The simulation is carried for different data rates over varying link ranges and the experimental results show that the proposed scheme performs best when dimming value α = 0.25 and data rate 2 Gbps.
