본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 가시 광선을 이용한 무선 망 설계에 필요한 가시광의 특성 예측을 위해 포톤 모델을 이용하는 방법을 제시한다. 광선을 이용하는 경우, 높은 주파수와 짧은 파장을 갖고 있으므로 광선 추적법을 이용하는 것이 일반적이나, 환경이 복잡하고 복수의 반사, 투과뿐만 아니라 물체 표면의 거친 정도 등의 재질을 고려한 난반사까지 고려해야 하는 경우, 매우 많은 시간이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 광선 추적법을 보완하여 광선의 세기를 포톤의 밀도로 근사하여 계산 정밀도와 계산 시간을 타협하는 방식을 제시한다.

저렴한 retro-반사지와 미소 전자 기계 시스템(micro electro-mechanical system, MEMS) 거울을 이용한 실내용 무선 광 통신용 위치 탐색 및 자동 링크 정렬 방법을 제안하고 실험하였다. 직접적인 가시선(line of sight, LOS) 확보를 위하여 retro-반사지에서 돌아온 빛으로부터 수신단 위치를 파악하고 MEMS 거울을 통한 빔 조종으로 통신 링크를 자동 정렬하였다. 자동 정렬된 광 링크를 통하여 7 m 전송 거리에서 2.5 Gb/s NRZ 신호를 전송하여 비트 에러율 10^-12에서 수신 감도 -31.87 dBm의 성능을 가졌다.

This paper presents an indoor prototype for wireless digital signal transmission using Visible Light Communications (VLC) in which high power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used. Using low cost and off-the-shelf components, the transmitter module is constructed using an AVR Atmega128 microcontroller and commercial white beam LEDs. Modulating the light intensity of the LED enables digital signals to be transmitted across the optical link. The receiver module employs a high speed PIN photodetector for optical signal detection and a recovery circuit for optical-electro signal conversion. By sending digitalized data via VLC technology, many applications can be realized in the areas of consumer advertising, traffic safety information and disaster control.

In outdoor visible light communication channels and LED road illumination communications for the intelligent transport systems (ITS), inter symbol interference (ISI) due to multipath propagation prevents high data rate transmission. Indoor wireless optical communication systems utilizing white LED lights and on the road illumination have been studying about it. Generally, plural lights are installed in room and considered to the traffic information system using existing LED traffic lights. Therefore, their optical path difference must be considered. In this paper, the influence of an optical path difference has been investigated and two approaches against this problem are introduced. One uses on-off keying, return-to-zero (OOK-RZ) coding and the other uses optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM).

기존 건물의 실내에서 가입자 단말기까지 광케이블을 포설하기가 어렵기 때문에 실내의 주 출입구까지만 광케이블을 포설 종단하고 가입자 단말까지는 광무선 전송방식을 도입할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 광무선 송신기가 벽면에 위치할 경우 세 번 반사하는 경우까지 포함하는 임펄스응답을 구하고 이 계산된 임펄스응답을 사용하여 광전력 페널티를 구하였다. 벽면에 송신기가 위치하여도 한번 반사되어 수신되는 광전력이 크므로 실내 적용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 2 Mb/s의 전송속도에서 광전력 페널티는 무시할 수 있을 정도로 적었다.

We report an experimental demonstration of $4{\times}4$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless visible light communications (VLC) using a charge-coupled device image sensor receiver instead of a photodiode receiver. An image sensor is a kind of digital camera, which is used in most mobile devices such as smart phones or laptop computers and a promising commercial candidate for a VLC receiver. The transmission distance of the experimental result is over 10 m, enough for most indoor communication applications. We expect that the MIMO VLC technique based on image sensor receivers can be widely used with the development of high-speed image sensors.

We introduce a new visible light communication (VLC) method in which three-level return-to-zero (RZ) modulation is used for flicker-free transmission. In the VLC transmitter, the three-level RZ modulation ensures that the average optical power is constant; thus, a flicker-free light-emitting diode (LED) light is achieved. In the VLC receiver, a resistor-capacitor high-pass filter is used for generating spike signals, which are used for data recovery while eliminating the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps. In transmission experiments, we applied this method for wireless transmission of an air quality sensor message using the visible light of an LED array. This configuration is useful for the construction of indoor wireless sensor networks for air pollution monitoring using LED lights.

In indoor sensor networks equalization algorithms based on the minimization of Euclidean distance (MED) for the distributions of constant modulus error (CME) have yielded superior performance in compensating for signal distortions induced from optical fiber links, wireless-links and for impulsive noise problems. One main drawback of MED-CME algorithms is a heavy computational burden hindering its implementation. In this paper, a recursive gradient estimation for weight updates of the MED-CME algorithm is proposed for reducing the operations $O(N^2)$ of the conventional MED-CME to O(N) at each iteration time for N data-block size. From the simulation results of the proposed recursive method producing exactly the same results as the conventional method, the proposed estimation method can be considered to be a reliable candidate for implementation of efficient receivers in indoor sensor networks.

Visible Light Communication (VLC) using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) within the existing lighting infrastructure can reduce the implementation cost and may gain higher throughput than radio frequency (RF) or Infrared (IR) based wireless systems. Current indoor VLC systems may suffer from poor downlink resource allocation problems and small system throughput. To address these two issues, we propose an algorithm called a conflict graph scheduling (CGS) algorithm, including a conflict graph and a scheme that is based on the conflict graph. The conflict graph can ensure that users are able to transmit data without interference. The scheme considers the user fairness and system throughput, so that they both can get optimum values. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee significant improvement of system throughput under the premise of fairness.

As an extension of Visible Light Communication, Optical Camera Communications (OCC) will be a promising service for smart devices. Especially in line of sight marketing service and indoor localization application, by using camera which exists in smart devices, small amount of data (url link) can be broadcasted or find direction from the illumination system. This paper introduces the operation of wireless communications technology that transmits optical information from optical light source to camera, called Optical Camera Communications.
