Visible light communication technology is a emerging wireless and optical communication technology developed after invention and application of white LED.In this paper, we have a research based on indoor visible light communication system of lighting white LED,discuss of the visible light communication channel characteristics,detailedly analysis of the indoor visible light communication link. This paper focuses on the modulation and demodulation method applied to visible light communication. In the past visible light communication is mainly used off keying modulation,however, the data transfer speed is limited due to the influence of ISI .This paper presents a solution based on OFDM modulation and demodulation, to reduce the impact brought from inter-symbol string under high data transfer speed.Based on data analysis and computer simulation,the program presented in this paper can be used as indoor lighting and high-speed data transmission.Finally, give scheme to achieve visible light communication modulation and demodulation,provide a theoretical basis for further experiments.

AbstractHigh-speed visible light communication (VLC), as a cutting-edge supplementary solution in 6G to traditional radio-frequency communication, is expected to address the tension between continuously increased demand of capacity and currently limited supply of radio-frequency spectrum resource. The main driver behind the high-speed VLC is the presence of light emitting diode (LED) which not only offers energy-efficient lighting, but also provides a cost-efficient alternative to the VLC transmitter with superior modulation potential. Particularly, the InGaN/GaN LED grown on Si substrate is a promising VLC transmitter to simultaneously realize effective communication and illumination by virtue of beyond 10-Gbps communication capacity and Watt-level output optical power. In previous parameter optimization of Si-substrate LED, the superlattice interlayer (SL), especially its period number, is reported to be the key factor to improve the lighting performance by enhancing the wall-plug efficiency, but few efforts were made to investigate the influence of SLs on VLC performance. Therefore, to optimize the VLC performance of Si-substrate LEDs, we for the first time investigated the impact of the SL period number on VLC system through experiments and theoretical derivation. The results show that more SL period number is related to higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) via improving the wall-plug efficiency. In addition, by using Levin-Campello bit and power loading technology, we achieved a record-breaking data rate of 3.37 Gbps over 1.2-m free-space VLC link under given optimal SL period number, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest data rate for a Si-substrate LED-based VLC system.

An optical wireless positioning system that uses white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on Visible Light Communication (VLC) is presented in this paper. In the proposed system, four LEDs are employed for illumination and communication. The trilateration technique is used for determining the receiver's location and the practical Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements are used for distance estimation. The impact of ambient light on Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) is studied by taking into consideration the first-order light reflection off of the ceiling, floor, and walls for channel modeling with both direct and indirect sunlight exposure. A modeling equation from the RSS measurements is proposed. The results show that the illuminance in all of the places in the room can be satisfied. Furthermore, the average positioning error by adopting the derived equation and trilateration technique was an error of less than 3 cm.
