Abstract

The VLC (visible light communication) system is communication technology using visible rays (RGB) that come out in LED device. It is energy curtailment effect and possible in ubiquitous network service applications. Also, VLC system has the above advantage about that the communication throughout the whole room is enabled by high power lighting and lighting equipment with white colored LED which are easy to install and have good outward appearance. However, the signal detection performance for the receiver near the network of transmitter boundary is severely degraded and the transmission efficiency decreased due to the influence of the interference signal from the adjacent networks. In this paper, we propose an interference mitigation method with optical beamforming in VLC systems, and evaluate the reception performance. For the system BER, the proposed optical beamforming transmission demonstrates the performance enhancement compared to the not using the optical beamforming scheme, and up to about 5~6dB SNR performance gain is achieved.

가시광 통신 시스템은 LED를 통해 방사되는 가시광을 이용한 차세대 통신 시스템으로, 유비쿼터스 네트워크 서비스 구축 시 에너지 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있다. 또한 기존 인프라를 활용하여 고출력 전송이 가능하며 유지 보수 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 하지만 가시광 통신 시스템에서는 인접 송신기 간섭 신호의 영향으로 네트워크 경계에 위치한 수신기의 신호 검출 성능은 급격히 열화되고 전송 효율은 감소하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 광 빔포밍을 활용하는 경우, 송신기 간 간섭 완화 방안을 제시하고 그 수신 성능을 평가한다. 제안하는 광 빔포밍 방식은 사용하지 않는 기존 가시광 통신 시스템 대비 BER 측면에서 향상된 성능을 보이며, 평균 5~7dB 성능 개전을 가져온다.
