Abstract

Recently, the Green IT is noticed because of the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, a drain on natural resources and pollution. In this paper, Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems with Turbo Coded scheme using LED is proposed and simulated in an optical wireless channel. As a forward error correction scheme to reduce information losses, turbo coding was employed. To decode the codewords, The Map (Maximum a Posteriori) algorism and SOVA (Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm) is used. The above mentioned schemes are described and simulation results are analyzed. As using turbo codes scheme, BER performance of proposed VLC systems is improved about 5 [dB].

최근에 그린 IT기술이 온실 효과, 자원의 재활용 등의 문제들로 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 보다 개선된 성능을 얻기 위해서 터보 부호화된 가시광 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 정보 손실을 줄이기 위해 사용되는 터보 부호 기술을 사용하였고 복호 알고리즘으로 Log MAP 알고리즘과 SOVA를 사용하여 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 터보 부호 기술로 약 5[dB] 이상의 성능이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.
