AbstractIn recent time of looming radio frequency (RF) spectrum crisis, visible light communication using lighting infrastructure emerged as a potential alternative at an indoor environment. This paper addresses the setback associated with ambient light interference in an indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) system to ensure joint communication and illumination performance inside an office room. A novel VLC architecture with suitable white light emitting diode (WLED) luminaire arrangement is presented to minimize the dispersion of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) across the room. Luminaires are categorized in two groups viz. data transmitting illuminants and illuminants for lighting purpose. The first group is dedicated to transmit data as well as serves the purpose of illumination. The other set creates only ambient illumination to achieve quality lighting attributes. The proposed forward error corrected receiver configuration discards the ambient light noise originated by the illuminants that serve the ambient illumination. Tail biting convolutional encoder and viterbi decoder are used at the encoding section of the transmitter and decoding section of the receiver respectively to improve bit error rate. Results obtained through MATLAB simulation shows better average bit error rate (BER) in the order of 10−8 measured at uniformly distributed 25 grid points over the working plane. At the same time achieved average horizontal illuminance with good uniformity comply with ISO recommendation.

Visible-light communication (VLC) uses a solid-state illumination device for generating high speed communication links. VLC is used throughout world for eliminating the shortage of wireless spectrum resources. The VLC is generally an Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) method and this uses the Light Emitting Diode (LED) for data transmission through the optical wireless channel. The data transmission though the VLC is affected by ambient light interference due to the environment. In this paper, an efficient filter is designed to eliminate the ambient light noises from the received signal. The filter used in the VLC system is Sallen key All Pass Filter (APF) and the red LED and Photo detector (PD) is used in the transmitter and receiver respectively. The Sallen key APF contains three different filter structures such as low pass, band pass and high pass filter. The Sallen APF uses the filter process with respect to the noise. This proposed system is implemented in two different tools namely MATLAB and Electric VLSI. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER), area, power consumption and data rate.
