초록

본 논문에서는 가시광 통신시스템에서 플리커 완화 및 BER 성능 향상을 위한 코딩 기법에 관해서 연구하였다. 가시광 통신의 전송 속도를 높이기 위해 다수의 LED를 사용하는 멀티전송 다중 LED 전송시스템이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그러나 N개의 LED를 사용하는 다중 LED 가시광 통신시스템에서 N개의 LED를 통해 데이터를 전송할 때, 데이터 시퀀스에 따라 동시에 0이 전송되는 연집 Zero 구간이 발생하고, 또한 1의 전송 구간이 서로 다르기 때문에 플리커 현상과 Dimming level의 변화로 인한 조명 성능 저하 현상이 발생하게 된다. 가시광 통신시스템은 통신 및 조명 기능을 동시에 수행하는 통신시스템이다. 따라서 통신의 전송 효율과 조명의 밝기를 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 우리는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 각각의 LED 데이터 시퀀스의 코딩 맵핑을 통해 플리커 현상과 Dimming level 문제를 완화하고 에러 검출 및 BER 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 플리커 완화 기법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we studied the coding technique for flicker mitigation and BER performance improvement in visible light communication system. In order to increase the transmission speed of visible light communication, a multi-transmission multi-LED transmission system using a plurality of LEDs is being actively studied. However, when data is transmitted through N LEDs in a multi-LED visible light communication system using N LEDs, there is a continuous zero section in which 0 is transmitted simultaneously according to the data sequence, and since the transmission section of 1 is different, flickering Or, a phenomenon in which the dimming level changes occurs. The visible light communication system is a communication system that simultaneously performs communication and lighting functions. Therefore, transmission efficiency of communication and brightness of lighting must be considered at the same time. To solve this problem, we proposed a flicker reduction mapping that can alleviate flicker and dimming level problems, improve error detection and BER performance through coding mapping of each LED data sequence.
