Performance Analysis ofa Visible Light Communication System in ABUAD Communications Laboratory
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering(IOSR-JECE) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
The performance of an indoor visible light communication (VLC) system is investigated with the assumption that LED lights are installed on the ceiling of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) communication laboratory. By taking the direct and reflected lights into consideration, the received power at different points on the laboratory floor, minimum signal to noise ratio, minimum bit error rate (BER) and outage are obtained. Results obtained show a consistent power difference of about 2dBm (1.6mW) between the minimum BER performance of systems with wavelengths corresponding to the lower and upper ends of the visible light wavelength range. Also, systems having high bit rates will require higher transmitted powers per LED to achieve the same target BER with systems having low bit rates. Therefore, when designing a VLC system, a trade-off has to be made between increasing performance and reducing cost.
