Abstract

White LEDs(Light Emitting Diode) offer advantageous properties such as high brightness, improved reliability, lower power consumption, and long lifetimes. An LED is an electronic device that converts an electrical signal into a tight signal and is used not only in Optical Communication Indoor wireless optical illuminating rooms, but also for wireless optical communication systems. Currently, studies about these white LEDs have been being progressed, and in this raper, we discuss the multiplex and the multiple access method of VLC(Visible Light Communication) systems using white LEDs. In proposed system, CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) apples to VLC system to reduce interference of VLC system, and improve capacity. The superiority of OOK modulation is presented in analysis of results by comparing VLC-CDMA communication system using OOK(On-off keying) modulation and BPSK modulation in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel and Diffuse channel. And we investigate the significance of a solution of interference by multipath by comparing BER in multipath channel and AWGN channel. In the proposed system, we assume Directed LOS(Line Of Sight) and Diffuse Link, and suppose VLC-CDMA using OOC(Optical Orthogonal Code) as methods to increase efficiency of system by removing ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) caused by multiple access, optical spreading code, and also present an analysis of its performance.

백색 LED(Light Emitting Diode:발광다이오드)는 고휘도, 향상된 안정성, 낮은 전력 소비, 그리고 긴 수명 등 유리한 특성을 제공한다. LED는 전기 신호를 광신호로 변환시킴으로써 광통신 실내 무선 광 조명실뿐만 아니라, 무선 광 통신 시스템에도 사용되는 전자 소자이다. 현재 이러한 백색 LED에 대해서 다양한 연구가 진행 중이며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 백색 LED를 이용한 VLC(Visible Light Communication:가시광통신)의 다중 접속 방식을 논의한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 현 VLC 시스템의 간섭을 줄이고, 수용량을 늘리기 위해 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access:코드 분할 다중 접속)를 VLC시스템에 적용한다. 또한 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채널과 Diffuse 채널에서의 OOK(On-off keying) 변조와 BPSK 변조를 사용한 VLC-CDMA통신 시스템을 비교해봄으로써 OOK 변조의 우수성을 결과의 분석을 통하여 나타내었다. 그리고 다중경로환경에서와 AWGN환경에서의 BER을 비교함으로써 다중경로에 의한 간섭의 해결의 중요성을 검토한다. 다중 접속 방식으로 인한 ISI(Inter Symbol Interference)를 제거하여 시스템의 효율을 높이기 위해 Directed LOS(Line Of Sight)와 Diffuse Link를 가정하여 광 확산 코드인 OOC(Optical Orthogonal Code: 광 직교 코드)를 적용한 VLC-CDMA를 제안하고, 성능 분석을 제시한다.
