In this paper, channel modeling and analysis of wireless visible light communication(VLC) were studied in indoor circumstance. Photons emitted from LED straightly moved and navigated within indoor, after that a part of photons reached on PD via LOS(Line Of Sight) or NLOS(None Line Of Sight). These received signals had characteristics of delay profile and attenuation, which was multiple-path fading. In this paper, computer simulation of VLC channel was executed under the condition that two LEDs were used for transmitter and three PDs were located at different positions of the 20*8*2.3m sized indoor. BER performance simulation was excuted based on the characteristics of each VLC channel.

As wireless communication technology advances to ensure high accuracy and safety at high speeds, research and development of Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology has been accelerated as an alternative to traditional radio frequency (RF) technology. As the radio spectrum of RF communication becomes more congested and demand for bandwidth continues to increase, VLCs that can use unlicensed frequency band are proposed as a solution. However, VLC channels have broadcasting characteristics that make them easily exposed to eavesdropping and jamming attacks, and are vulnerable to MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) due to their line of sight (LOS) propagation characteristics. These attacks on VLC channels compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications links and data, resulting in higher data retransmission rates, reducing throughput and increasing power consumption, resulting in lower data transmission efficiency. In this work, we model vulnerable VLC channels to analyze the impact of attacks and communications vulnerabilities by malicious jammers.

The visible light convergence communication technology is suitable for indoor wireless communication and digital lighting fixtures, it could be used as lighting devices as well as a communication device. However, because that VLC is the technology of came to world a few years ago, there are many problems which had to solve. The signal sensing of VLC transmitter is one of the most challenging issue in VLC systems. Therefore in this paper, we analysis the performance of various sensing scheme for efficient detection of VLC systems. The signal of user is OFDM signal and the wirelss channel between a user and VLC system is modeled as indoor VLC channel. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme is very effective to signal sensing for VLC systems.

In this paper, channel modeling of VLC(Visible Light Communication) was investigated under indirect lightning circumstance which was the way that all phontons started from LED(Light Emitting Diode) were reached on the floor with NLOS paths. I supposed width(6m), depth(4m), height(2.2m) cube room circumstance for VLC communication channel and supposed that 4 LEDs were located at 2m height, which emitted photons at the direction of wall and ceiling. Channel characteristics, which were power attenuation and delayed receiving of light signal, were abstracted from receivers(PDs) which were located at 0.5m above from floor. The availability of channel was verified via BPSK based communication simulation.

Visible Light Communication (VLC) is effective way to realize the light device and communication device using a Light Emitting Diode (LED) simultaneously. VLC has high security for Field Of View (FOV) communication area, also which is possible to transmit the high data rate using visible light. In VLC, transmitting the divided data by the RGB channels is higher data rate than transmitting the same data by RGB channels. However, it occurred the burst error by scattering and reflection of visible light which is impossible to restore that. To solve the problem, we proposed the 2-step interleaving scheme that high data rate and improve the performance of BER in VLC. The proposed system implements cyclic interleaving and convolutional interleaving that is able to be standardized the performance of RGB channels and improve the performance of BER using error correction.

LED lighting is spreading on the strength of LED lighting, and various government policies are being implemented. VLC research which is a wireless communication technology using lighting has been actively conducted, and it has been proven through many studies that a general LED light source such as a high-speed data transmitter can be used. But from now on, one of the main problems is the noise from side lights, which can be compared to the noise of radio broadcasts. So in this paper, we proposed a noise canceling model to remove the interference of ambient light by using an optical filter for a detachable VLC channel. In order to verify the proposed model, various high brightness RGB LED modules were used for comparative analysis. In addition, the applicability was verified through experiments using High Luminance LED lighting which is applied in real life.

In this paper, we propose the multi-channel interference cancellation algorithm for visible light communication (VLC) in smart building. The VLC system is communication technology using visible rays that come out in Light Emitting Diode (LED) device. It has energy curtailment effect and possible to use in ubiquitous network service applications. When a large number of users communicate indoors, the performance can be reduced due to channel interference. To remove interference, at the first, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) scheme as interference cancellation methods used, and then the successive interference cancellation (SIC) is applied to obtain additional diversity gain and improve interference cancellation performance. Indoor VLC channel model is employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme has better BER performance compared to the previous systems. As a result, the proposed interference cancellation improves the signal quality of VLC systems by effectively removing the channel noise. The results of the paper can be applied to VLC for smart building and general communication systems.

In this paper, we implemented a VLC(Visible Light Communication) system capable of transmitting/receiving data on a 30MHz clock based on On/Off keying modulation/demodulation. The data rate of the implemented system can be verified by functional verification of VLC channel composed of LED/photodiode driver and VLC transmitting/receiving signal of Tx/Rx platform. But, In the experimental results with the VLC transmitting/receiving for combined module, the maximum transmission rate was measured at 15 MHz. Therefore, we describe the problems that can occur when implement the VLC system using the LED module with output power of 15W or more and propose ways to improve it.

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.

LED-to-LED VLC is a technology that uses LEDs as both a transmitter and a receiver unlike the typical VLCs. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a micro LED-to-LED VLC using Micro LED. We tested all the possible VLC cases using red, yellow, green, blue, and white color LED as both a transmitter and a receiver, and measured rise time and SNR. Then we calculated channel capacity depending on the LED color sets. Our experimental results show that the best channel capacity is 125 kbps when the transmitter micro LED was blue and the receiver LED was green. We also measured BERs of VLCs using OFDM signal, and we showed a successful micro LED-to-LED VLC upto 250 kbps.
