Abstract

VLC(Visible Light Communication) is the technology to send and receive data by using visible light that LED emits. The basic principle of VLC is the communication by using flashing(ON/OFF) of the light from the LED that changes electricity to light in short time. As the recent advances in LED technology, VLC is also received a lot of attention and the research about it is in progress actively. Especially, the interest about indoor VLC system is increasing because the visible light can't pass through the wall. In this paper, we compose the indoor SISO VLC system with NRZ-OOK and VPPM modulation schemes. Also, we apply SR-ARQ, a kind of re-transmission error control schemes, to the VLC system. And then, we compare and analyze the performance of communication according to the location of receiver and the type of modulation by using BER, the number of transmission and throughput.

가시광 무선통신(Visible Light Communication)은 발광다이오드(LED)가 방출하는 가시광 파장을 이용해 데이터를 주고 받는 기술로써 짧은 시간에 전기에서 빛으로 바꾸는 LED의 깜박임(ON/OFF)을 이용하여 통신을 수행한다. 최근 LED 기술이 발전함에 따라 가시광 무선통신 또한 많은 주목을 받고 있으며 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 특히 벽을 통과하지 못하는 가시광 특성을 고려한 실내 통신 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내 환경의 SISO 가시광 무선통신 시스템에 오류제어 기법인 SR-ARQ를 적용하여 통신 환경을 구축하였고, 4가지의 수신지점 및 NRZ-OOK와 VPPM 변조 방식을 이용하여 수신지점 및 변조 방식에 따른 BER, 전송횟수, Throughput을 통해 통신 성능을 비교 및 분석하였다.
