Abstract

Visible light communication is a communication method using an LED's blinking(ON/OFF), it has a feature of light because of the limit of perception by the human's optic nerve. LED' dimming control used in the VLC system is important factor needed to provide energy saving and life benefits. With advances in VLC system, MIMO technology has received much attention in that it can be obtain channel capacity proportionate to the number of antenna. Therefore, in this paper, with RC method which is one of the MIMO style in VLC system, it is compared communication performance using RZ-OOK, VPPM, MPPM and OPPM. As a result of the simulation was run against this, MPPM works well in terms of Power requirement and OPPM works well in terms of Spectral efficiency and Bandwidth requirement, also it was confirmed that there is a significant impact on the communication performance of each modulation scheme according to the dimming.

가시광 무선통신은 LED의 깜박임(ON/OFF)을 이용한 통신 방식으로, 인간의 시신경 인식의 한계로 조명의 기능도 유지된다. VLC 시스템에서 사용되는 LED의 밝기 조절은 에너지 절약과 생활 혜택을 제공하는데 필요한 중요한 요소이다. 또한, VLC 시스템이 발전하면서 MIMO 기술은 안테나 수에 비례하는 채널 용량을 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 큰 주목을 받아오고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 VLC 시스템의 MIMO 방식 중 하나인 RC방식으로, 4개의 변조 방법인 RZ-OOK, VPPM, MPPM, OPPM을 사용하여 디밍에 따른 통신 성능을 분석하였다. 이에 대해 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 4개의 변조들 중 power requirement 측면에서는 MPPM 변조가, spectral efficiency와 bandwidth requirement 측면에서는 OPPM 변조가 성능이 좋음을 확인하였고, 디밍에 따라서 각 변조들의 통신 성능이 달라짐을 확인하였다.
