  • In this paper, we consider the diffuse type of indoor wireless optical communication (WOC) system. To find the channel characteristics of indoor wireless infrared communication system, we investigate the simulation process to get the impulse response of diffuse type and analyze the scenario of the indoor structure which we have built. The simulation results of the impulse response include power ratio and time delay due to bounce times. We get and discuss the receiving power distribution according to six configurations which have different transmitter and receiver positions and reflection coefficients of the indoor structure assumed. The results of this paper are useful to design the indoor wireless optical communication systems.

  • Diffuse wireless optical communication offers more robust optical links in terms of coverage and shadowing than line-of-sight links. However, traditional diffuse wireless infrared (IR) transceiver systems are more susceptible to multi-path distortion and great power decrease, which results in limiting high-speed performance. Multi-beam is an effective technique to compensate for multi-path distortion in a wireless infrared environment. The goal of this paper is to analyze the transmission characteristics by replacing traditional diffuse system (TDS) which contains single wide angle transmitter and single element receiver by system consisting of three-beam transmitter and non-imaging receiver (TNS) attached with compound parabolic concentrator (CPC). In the simulation, we use the recursive model developed by Barry and Kahn and build the scenario based on 10 different cases which have been listed in Table 1. Moreover, we also check the reliability of the TNS diffuse link channel by BER test on the basis of different receiver positions and room sizes. The simulation results not only show the basic transmission characteristics of TNS diffuse link, but also are references to design more efficient and reliable indoor infrared transmission systems.

  • Visible light communication (VLC) is considered a strong future candidate for indoor wireless communication. However, its performance seems to be relatively unsatisfactory when compared to wireless local area network (WLAN) communication using millimeter waves. To improve the performance of VLC, numerous technologies have been proposed so far, in both electrical and optical domains. Among the proposals, optical beamforming (OB) is an optical-domain technology that can concentrate light in a specific direction or on a target spot. It can significantly improve VLC performance and can be widely used, because it does not depend on electrical modulation schemes. Therefore, this review discusses the concept, principle, and types of OB, the structure of a VLC system using OB, performance results of OB, and the combination of OB with electrical signal modulation in VLC. OB is expected to be one of the key techniques in future VLC implementations, similar to radio-frequency beamforming in millimeter-wave communication.

  • In recent years, along with the rapid development of LED technology, indoor positioning systems based on visible light communication (VLC) have been researched. In this paper, we propose an accurate indoor positioning method using white-light LEDs and a dual image sensor. Indoor LED lights are located at the ceiling in a room and broadcast information on their positions using VLC technology. A mobile device with a dual image sensor receives LED position information by VLC and estimates its position and azimuth angle. Simulation and experimental results are given to show the performance of the proposed indoor positioning system.

  • 본 논문에서는 조명으로 사용되는 LED를 이용하여 실내 가시광 통신을 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고 있다. LED는 디지털 변조가 가능하므로 조명과 더불어 광무선 통신시스템으로 적용할 수 있다는 개념과 연구결과에 기인하여 기초연구를 수행하였다. LED는 고 휘도, 신뢰성, 저 전력 소비, 긴 수명의 장점을 가지므로 고 품질의 통신서비스를 제공하는 통신용 광원으로서도 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 오디오 전송을 위한 단방향 광무선 통신시스템과 텍스트 메시지를 전송하기 위한 양방향 통신시스템을 구현하여 통신 성능을 실험하였다. 이 실험결과는 실내 무선 환경을 지향하는 조명등의 내부회로로 설치될 수 있는 저가형 광통신 트랜시버의 구현이 가능함을 보여준다.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.
