LED-based lighting motivated by significant energy savings provides an opportunistic development of widespread free-space optical communications. Their transceivers have a variety of competitive advantages over RF including high bandwidth density, reliability, lower energy consumption, and long lifetime. But, it is difficult for existing buildings and structures such as ships and vehicles to install the communication cable to the ceiling. In this paper, controller area network (CAN)-based LED lighting communication systems were proposed. Results indicate the viability of developing inexpensive CAN interface modules and transceivers might be embedded in lighting products to support the indoor wireless networking.

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.

무선 통신망의 수요가 급격히 증가하여 기존의 무선통신 대역이 조만간에 포화될 것으로 예측됨에 따라, 새로운 밀리메터파 대역 통신에 대한 연구 관심이 높아지고 있다. 광 밀리메터파 발생 및 전송 시스템은 밀리메터 반송파 발생이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 밀리메터파 광중계기 구현에 그대로 적용되기 때문에, 차세대 밀리메터파 통신 시스템 구현의 핵심기술로서 연구관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 광 밀리메터파 발생 방법으로는 두 개의 레이저를 이용하는 광파 혼합과 외부 변조기로 직접변조하는 방법 등이 있다. (중략)

Depends on the running dry of the radio resources for the next generation of wireless communication system the estimated possibilities of the visible light which used for the devices such as signal light, the electric display board, guide board and so on applied for the next generation wireless network is the topic to be explored in this paper. Since radiation efficiency utilization for the wireless network has its capacity to become a trend direction we will study also on its application as well as the technique standardization.

To increase the bit rate over than 1 Gb/s in LED visible light communications, we need to reduce the multipath effect of the light in indoor environment. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for LED visible light wireless LAN with beamforming technique. We assumed that spatial light modulator is used for beamforming function. We use polling method since detecting another uplink channel is difficult in visible light communication. We also estimated the performance of the proposed MAC protocol.

In this paper, visible light wireless communication system according to the climate is studied in the marine environment. The light visibility can be determined by the different weather conditions (clear air, rain, storm, fog) in Kim's atmospheric channel model. By simulating the OOK-NRZ modulation technique, the BER performances are compared in the different weather conditions. In the field test, the error bit is measured in the visible-light communication. The effectiveness of visible light communication in the marine environment is confirmed by comparing the analysis of simulations and field experiments.

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.

Due to metallicity of materials, a vessel has a limitation to adopt RF-based wireless communication technologies for the inner communication means. Visible Light Communication(VLC) can be a sound alternative to dissolve such a limitation. Using a visual light as a transmission medium, VLC is free from radio interferences and restriction of radio usages which are typically related to RF-based wireless communications. In addition, VLC can not only require the facility cost relatively low because of being possibly converged with existing LED illumination, but also be harmless to the human body. This paper proposes an indoor location-based emergency call service system solution for ships using the VLC technology that supports 256Kbps data rate and 5m transmission distance. This paper presents real implementation and testing results of the solution which verifies the propriety of the proposal.
