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.

가시광통신은 조명용 LED를 사용하여 자유공간을 통하여 광신호를 직접 전송하는 무선광통신 방식의 일종으로서 하나의 광원으로 조명과 통신을 겸할 수 있는 장점이 있으나 전송구간이 가시거리로 제한되는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 가시광통신 구간 사이에 전력선통신을 이용하여 가시거리 구간 밖으로 가시광통신의 전송범위를 확장하였다. 이러한 구조는 가시광 통신 구간을 넓혀주는 효과가 있어 실내의 LED 조명을 이용한 가시광통신 시스템을 신설하거나 확장하는 경우에 많이 활용할 수 있다.

We analyze the link availability of satellite-to-ground free-space optical (FSO) communication systems in South Korea. Using ten-year meteorological data for five major cities (Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Gwangju), we theoretically predict the link availability from the power losses induced by absorption, scattering, aerosols, and scintillation in the atmospheric channel. For accurate but conservative estimation of the link availability determined by cloud cover, we propose a loss model based on the maximum value of cloud droplet concentration. The results show that the link availability ranges from 45% to 70% when a single ground station is placed in a major city in South Korea and a 20-dB link budget is allocated for atmospheric loss. However, the availabilities improve to 90% and 97% when 3- and 5-site diversities are employed, respectively.

본 논문에서는 가시광 통신을 위한 고효율 대용량 LED 드라이버를 제안한다. 기존 가시광 통신을 위한 LED 드라이버는 LED의 선형 구동방식으로 인한 전력 손실 및 발열이 매우 심각하여 대용량의 조명용 LED에 적용하기에는 현실적인 어려움이 뒤따랐다. 하지만 제안 회로는 LED의 스위칭 방식 구동을 통해 전력 변환 효율 및 발열이 크게 개선되어 대용량의 조명용 LED에 적용할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 효율 저하 없이 최대 10Mbps의 높은 데이터 전송 성능을 가지는 부가적인 무선통신 시스템을 구현할 수 있다. 최종적으로, 제안회로의 우수성을 검증하기 위하여 무선통신 오디오 시스템을 구현하여 고찰된 실험 결과를 제시한다.

According to the complete standard document for PHY/MAC layer of visible light communication through the IEEE 802.15.7 WG on Sept. 2011, visible light communication lays a good foundation for developing a variety of application services. Thus, visible light communication moves to the advanced research period for developing application services, but most of applications are limited only to PtP service model. However, PtMP communication environment for VLC is required to accommodate more various applications. In this paper, we analyze an effect of key parameters on network performance in the star topology based visible personal area network system. We implement a simulator with considering attributes of PHY and MAC layer which are defined by IEEE 802.15.7 standard documents, and analyze the VLC performance.

In this study, a customized semi-passive RFID receiver module was implemented for in-VIVO deep tissue photo-therapy. A novel wireless technique is required due to a limitation of RF communication in body environment, as internal body has a complex structure such as, skin, fat, skeleton, water, and so on. Recently, coherently incoherent beamforming (CIB) based on RFID was introduced and it is able to transmit wireless signal with high reliability under the incoherent condition such as in-VIVO deep tissue. The proposed miniature photo capsule based on RFID consists of miniature controller, ultra small LED array and wireless RFID chip. RF Reader can access with standard RFID protocol (ISO 18000-6c) using UHF RFID antenna, a control command is wirelessly writtern on USER Bank memory. With received control command, therapy LED array dims with mulilevel under timer control. The signal process of designed RFID photo therapy capsule is analyzed and evaluated under the various environments in detailed.

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.

The VLC system undertakes both missions of illumination and wireless communication. It is difficult to design a VLC system with optimal performance due to the trade-offs between power consumption and channel quality. In this paper, the VLC system design problem is solved by using multi-objective optimization method. For optimization, the multi-objective function is formulated with respect to power consumption, received power, and SNR under the constraints on the system variables. Through the multi-objective optimization, it is possible to obtain the solutions that satisfies both minimum power consumption and maximum channel quality.
