For an actual visible light communication system, it is necessary to consider the uniformity of indoor illumination. Most of the existing optimization schemes, however, do not consider the effect of the first reflected light, and do not conform to the practical application conventions, which increases the actual cost and the complexity of system construction. In this paper, considering the first reflected light and based on the conventional layout model and the classic indoor visible light communication model, a scheme using the parameter Q to determine the optimal layout of channel quality is proposed. We determined the layout, and then carried out a simulation. For comparison, the normal layout and the optimal layout of illumination were also simulated. The simulation results show that the illuminance distributions of the three layouts meet the standards of the International Organization for Standardization. The optimal layout of channel quality in the signal-to-noise ratio distribution, maximum delay spread distribution, and impulse response is obviously better than the optimal layout of illumination. In particular, the effective area percentage of the optimal layout of channel quality is increased by 0.32% and 6.08% to 88.80% as compared with the normal layout’s 88.48% and the optimal layout of illumination’s 82.72%. However, compared with the normal layout, the advantages are not very prominent.

We experimentally demonstrated full-duplex light-emitting diode (LED)-to-LED visible light communication (VLC) using LEDs as the transmitter and receiver. Firstly, we investigated the performance dependency on the wavelengths of the LED transmitter and receiver by measuring the rise time and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Through the investigation, we were able to choose the optimal LED color set for LED-to-LED VLC using Shannon’s channel capacity law. The bit error rate (BER) results of full-duplex and half-duplex LED-to-LED VLC systems with the optimal LED sets are shown to compare the performance. Furthermore, we discuss major distortions and signal losses in the full-duplex LED-to-LED VLC system.

Analytical Expression

Visible Light Communication (VLC) has received substantial research attention in the last decade. The vast majority of VLC focuses on the modulation of the transmitted light intensity. In this work, however, the intensity is kept constant while the polarization direction is deployed as a carrier of information. Demodulation is realized by using a differential receiver pair equipped with mutually orthogonal polarizers. An analytical expression to evaluate the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) as a function of the rotation angle of the receiver is derived. It is demonstrated that the signal quality can deteriorate heavily with receiver orientation when using a single differential receiver pair. A way to overcome this drawback using two receiver pairs is described. The analytical expression is experimentally verified through measurements with two different receiver setups. This work demonstrates the potential of polarization-based modulation in the field of VLC, where receiver rotation robustness has been achieved by means of a dedicated quadrant photodiode receiver.

The Relationship

Probabilistic shaping (PS) is a powerful tool that can realize a flexible data rate and high spectrum efficiency. However, the performance of PS is closely related to the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) order, source entropy (SE), normalized generalized mutual information (NGMI), and achievable information rate (AIR). In this paper, we investigated the relationship between PS QAM order, SE, NGMI, and AIR performance for the first time in the visible light communication (VLC) system. Under a specific signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the PS QAM order and SE in this paper can realize a high AIR at a preset NGMI threshold with the lowest computation complexity, which is just 0.1 bit smaller than the highest AIR. Simulation and experimental results show that the NGMI fluctuates between only ±0.005 of the preset NGMI threshold, which proves that the scheme proposed in this paper is feasible.

This paper investigates a composite optical receiver for an indoor visible light communication (VLC) system. The optical gain, received power, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are considered to be optimized. However, it is difficult to find a balance between them in general design and optimization. We propose the Taguchi and fuzzy logic combination method to improve multiple performance characteristics effectively in the optical receiver. The simulated results indicate that the designed receiver has the characteristics of an optical gain of 10.57, a half field of view (HFOV) of 45°, a received power of 6.4635 dBm, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 89.8874 dB, and a spot size of 2 mm. The appropriate weights of the three performance characteristics for the inputs of the fuzzy controllers increase the optical gain by 13.601 dB, and the received power and SNR by 11.097 dB and 0.373 dB, respectively. Therefore, the optical receiver optimally designed by the Taguchi and fuzzy logic methods can significantly meet the requirements of an indoor VLC system.
