본 고에서는 현재 IEEE 802.15.7 TG VLC에서 본격적으로 논의되고 있는 가시광 무선통신의 응용 서비스 모델 중에서 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 조명과 통신이 융합된 응용 서비스 모델을 중심으로 알아본다. LED를 이용한 통신 기술은 광 케이블을 이용한 유선 광통신에서 이미 시작된 기술이나 LD를 이용하여 더 우수한 성능을 보이면서 잊혀져가던 기술중하나이다. 이러한 광통신 기술은 LED의 성능이 급격하게 증가하면서 다시금 주목을 받게 되었고, 특히 LED를 이용한 조명기술이 발전하면서 무선통신으로 다시금 주목받고 있는 기술이다. 실내 환경에서 LED 조명 고유의 기능을 그대로 유지하면서 무선통신을 가능하게 하고, 항공기 혹은 병원내에서와 같이 기존의 RF무선통신에 제약을 받는 환경에서도 무선통신이 가능하게 하며, 실내 LED 조명을 이용함으로써 국부지역에 특정 서비스 제공이 가능해 졌다. 따라서 가시광 무선통신은 조명산업과의 융합을 통해 통신뿐만 아니라 기존의 조명과 디스플레이 분야에서 새로운 가치를 창출 할 수 있는 그린 IT융합 기술이다. 본 고에서는 LED조명의 등장배경, 위치 정보 제공 서비스, 국부 방송 서비스, 항공기내 무선통신 서비스 등 LED 조명 기술과 통신기술이 융합된 가시광 무선통신의 응용 서비스 모델에 대하여 설명한다.

LED communication is a wireless communication technology to transmit information using visible light coming out from the LED(Light Emitting Diode). It is a technique that can overcome RF(Radio Frequency) communication problems that are frequency allocations, human body hazards, security vulnerabilities, and interference between electronic devices. As a technique that can be used as lighting and communications with using LED, LED communication is suitable for ubiquitous environment. This paper introduces the process of data transmission algorithm for LED communication systems algorithm using LED, PD(Photodiode), and MCU(Micro Controller Unit).

LED-to-LED VLC is a technology that uses LEDs as both a transmitter and a receiver unlike the typical VLCs. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a micro LED-to-LED VLC using Micro LED. We tested all the possible VLC cases using red, yellow, green, blue, and white color LED as both a transmitter and a receiver, and measured rise time and SNR. Then we calculated channel capacity depending on the LED color sets. Our experimental results show that the best channel capacity is 125 kbps when the transmitter micro LED was blue and the receiver LED was green. We also measured BERs of VLCs using OFDM signal, and we showed a successful micro LED-to-LED VLC upto 250 kbps.

LED는 빛을 내는 반도체이다. LED는 백열전등에 비하여 전기 절감 효과가 높고, 형광 등에 비하여 수은을 사용하지 않아 친환경적이기 때문에 녹색성장의 대표주자 중 하나이다. 메모리 반도체와 전자통신 기기가 융합하여 지난 20년간 발전하여 왔듯이, 앞으로는 LED와 전자통신이 융합하여 새로운 형태의 융합 기술이 발전할 것이다. 현재 예상 가능한 LED 전자통신 융합 기술은 LED 조명과 동시에 통신을 할 수 있는 가시광 무선통신 기술과 감성 및 전기 절감을 실현할 수 있는 LED 조명 모듈간 유선 네트워킹 기술이다. 본 고에서는 LED 조명과 녹색성장이 연계된 배경, 가시광 무선통신의 국내 및 국제 표준 동향, LED 조명 네트워킹 기술을 설명한다.

네트워크를 이용한 LED 조명의 제어는 최근 IP(Internet Protocol)을 이용한 조명 제어와 융합되어 단순한 디밍(Dimming)제어 뿐만 아니라, 미디어 파사드(Media facade), 카이네틱 아트(Kinetic Art)등의 새로운 조명 분야로 범위가 확대 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양화 되는 네트워크 기반의 제어 방식 중 DMX over IP 에 대하여 멀티케스트-다중화 방식(Multicast & Multiplexing)으로 분석 및 시뮬레이션 하였다. 그 결과 1 만개 이상의 채널 수를 가지는 규모가 큰(large volume) 조명 네트워크 시스템의 경우 채널의 개수 증가가 delay-throughput 에 영향이 적음을 알 수 있다.

The visible light communication system that transmits data by controlling light emission of LED and receives data through photo detecter is considered as one of the strong candidates of the next generation wireless communication systems. The visible light communication provides both lighting and wireless communication wherever the LED lamps are installed. Due to the feature of visible light communication system, the communication is possible within the area that LED light reaches, and the communication quality depends on the light intensity received at the receiver. In this paper, we analyze the effects of LED panel position and lighting angel on communication channel quality in visible light communication systems. Through computer simulations, we prove that position of LED panel and light angle have a great impact on illuminance and SNR of the visible light communication systems.

In this paper, we propose a upstream transmission method to extend coverage in visible light communication (VLC) systems. We extend transmission distance by using focused infrared(IR) light emitting diodes(LEDs). Since the focused light covers just limited area, it might have a difficulty in transmitting data if the transmitter and receiver are not properly aligned. To solve this problem, we arrange multiple IR-LEDs in different direction and select a single best performing IR-LED among multiple IR-LEDs. Also, the transmission performance is periodically checked and another IR-LED is reselected to support the required quality of service (QoS) and to minimize battery consumption required by a mobile terminal.
