초록

본 논문에서는 가시광 통신시스템에서 조명과 통신의 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위한 Dimming level control 기법을 연구하였다. 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 OOK와 RZ-OOK변조 방식의 경우, 연속적인 Burst Zero Duration이 발생하면 조명 기능이 심각하게 저하된다. 이는 조명뿐만 아니라 시스템 전체의 성능을 열하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 연구를 통해, 기존 시스템의 Dimming level특성을 분석하고, Dimming level을 높이기 위한 기법으로 Illegal Pulse Insertion(IPI) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, Dimming level을 효과적으로 제어하고 기존 변복조 시스템에서 나타나는 플리커(flicker) 현상과 Dimming level 감소를 해결하여 조명과 통신 양쪽 모두의 QoS를 향상 시킬 수 있다.

In this paper, we have studied a dimming level control method to satisfy both lighting and communication performance in visible light communication system. In the case of the most commonly used OOK and RZ-OOK modulation schemes, continuous Burst Zero Duration will seriously degrade the lighting function. This causes not only the illumination but also the performance of the entire system to deteriorate. Through this study, we analyzed the dimming level characteristics of the existing system and proposed the Illegal Pulse Insertion (IPI) algorithm as a technique to increase the dimming level. Through this, it is possible to effectively control the dimming level and improve the QoS of both lighting and communication by resolving the flicker phenomenon and dimming level reduction in the existing modulation and demodulation system.
