Geun-Bin Hong,Tae-Su Jang,김용갑 한국전기전자재료학회 2011 Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Material Vol.12 No.6

This study was carried out to solve problems such as radio frequency band depletion, confusion risk, and security loss in existing visible wireless communication systems, and to determine the applicability of next-generation networks. A light-emitting diode (LED) light communication system was implemented with a controlling switching light module using the ATmega16 micro-controller. To solve the existing modulation effect and disturbance in visible light communication, an integrated interface was evaluated with a driving light module and analyzes its reception property. A transmitter/receiver using the ATmel's micro-controller, high-intensity white LED-6 modules, and infrared sensor KSM60WLM and visible sensor TSL250RD were designed. An experiment from the initial value of distance to 2.5 m showed 0.46 V of the voltage loss, and if in long distance, external light interference occurred and light intensity was lost by external impact and thus data had to be modified or reset repeatedly. Additionally, when we used 6 modules through the remote controller's lighting dimming, data could be transmitted up to 1.76 m without any errors during the day and up to 2.29 m at night with around 2~3% communication error. If a special optical filter can reduce as much external light as possible in the integrated interface, the LED for lighting communication systems may be applied in next generation networks.

ICT기술 확산과 더불어 효율적인 정보 운용을 위해 다양한 프로토콜의 근거리 무선통신기술이 적용되고 있다. 하지만 근거리 무선통신의 제한사항으로 인하여 주파수 혼선 및 창고형 공장 등 주파수 환경이 좋지 않은 곳에서 통신이 원활하지 못하다. 이에 대한 대안이 필요한 시점에 LED 기술의 발달과 빠른 보급을 통한 인프라 확충으로 LED 기반 가시광 통신이 대안으로 주목되고 넒은 분야에 확산되고 있다. 또한 신재생에너지 활성화에 맞춰 태양광 패널 또한 빠른 보급으로 인프라가 확충되어 있다. 이러한 상황에서 PD를 활용한 가시광 통신은 PD의 수신각도 및 주변 환경의 빛으로 인해 LoS가 확보되고 주변의 빛에 영향이 적은 초근거리 환경에서 제한적으로 적용되어 왔다. 이를 해결하고자 현재 인프라가 확충되어 있는 LED 조명과 수신 면적이 넓은 태양광 패널을 이용하여 가시광 통신을 구현하였으며, 주변 환경 빛에서도 정확한 데이터를 복원을 위한 회로를 제안하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 태양광 패널을 수신부로 하는 가시광 통신 연구의 기반 자료로 활용 되어 가시광 통신이 더욱 넓게 응용될 것으로 기대한다. In addition to the diffusion of ICT technology, various protocols of short range wireless communication technology are being applied for efficient information operation. However, due to limitations of short-range wireless communication, communication is not smooth in places where frequency environment is poor, such as frequency confusion and warehouse type factory. When an alternative is needed. The development of LED technology and expansion of infrastructure through LED based visible light communication is attracting attention as an alternative and spreading the usage in wide range now a days. In addition, the infrastructure has been expanded with solar panels in response to the development of smarthome built-in with renewable energy. In this situation, visible light communication using PD has been limitedly applied in a near environment where the receiving angle of the PD and the ambient light ensure the LoS and the influence of the ambient light is small. In order to solve this problem, we have implemented visible light communication using LED lighting with large current infrastructure and solar panel with large receiving area, and proposed a circuit for restoring accurate data even in ambient light. Through this study results, it is expected that visible light communication can be more widely used and this result used as the base data for visible light communication research using the solar panel as the receiver.

본 논문에서는 조명으로 사용되는 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용하여 가시광 통신 시스템으로 통신이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 효율적인 통신을 위한 변조 방식에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 가시광 통신은 LED 조명의 특징인 고속 스위칭을 이용하여 가시광 통신 시스템에 적용한다. 기존의 가시광 통신 시스템은 주로 OOK(On-Off-Keying) 변조를 이용한다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 변조 기법을 적용하여 가시광통신 시스템에 효과적으로 사용 될 수 있는 변조기법을 LabView를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 선별하였다. 실험결과 FSK(Freguency Shift Keying) 변조가 가장 가시광 통신 시스템에 적합한 통신임을 입증할 수 있었다. In this paper, we study the modulation scheme for efficient communication, as well as the visible light communication system using LED(Light Emitting Diode) lighting. Visible light communication using LED lighting features high-speed switching system was applied. Conventional visible light communication systems mainly use OOK (On-Off-Keying) modulation. However, in this paper, various modulation techniques were sifted through the modulation schemes to see which technique can be used most effectively in the visible light communication system simulation using LabView. The experimental results demonstrated that the FSK(Freguency Shift Keying) technique is the most suitable for visible light communication systems.

이규진 대한산업경영학회 2024 산업융합연구 Vol.22 No.2

가시광을 이용하여 정보를 전송하는 가시광통신은 초고속, 초지연, 초연결등의 장점이 있어 6G 통신을 보완하기 위 한 하나의 방안으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가시광통신에서 RGB 혼합비율에 의하여 발생하는 성능 열화를 극 복하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. LED 조명을 이용한 가시광통신 시스템은 조명의 역할이 중요한 기능으로 통신을 위해 사용 할 경우 RGB 혼합 비율에 따른 성능 차이는 필연적으로 발생한다. 특히, 일정 기준 이하의 빛의 강도를 갖는 경우 시스템 전 체의 성능을 열화시키는 문제가 발생한다. 이 연구에서는 RGB 3개의 채널 중 혼합 비율의 차이로 발생하는 통신 시스템에서 일정 성능 이하가 발생할 때, 최고의 성능을 보이는 LED를 제외하고 나머지 2개의 신호를 STBC(Space-Time Block Coding)으로 전송하여 통신의 품질을 보장하는 하이브리드 시스템에 대해서 연구를 진행하였다. 제안 시스템의 성능을 검증 하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 제안 시스템의 성능이 기존 시스템과 비교하여 향상된 것을 볼 수 있다. Visible light communication, which transmits information using visible light, has advantages such as ultra-high speed, ultra-delay, and ultra-connectivity, so research is being conducted as a way to complement 6G communication. In this paper, a study was conducted to overcome the performance degradation caused by the RGB mixing ratio in visible light communication. In a visible light communication system using LED lighting, the role of lighting is an important function, and when used for communication, the performance difference according to the RGB mixing ratio inevitably occurs. In particular, if the intensity of light is below a certain standard, the problem of deteriorating the performance of the entire system occurs. In this study, when a certain performance or less occurs in the communication system caused by the difference in the mixing ratio among the three RGB channels, the remaining two signals except the LED with the best performance are transmitted to STBC (Space-Time Block Coding) to ensure the quality of communication. A computer simulation was performed to verify the performance of the proposed system, and it can be seen that the performance of the proposed system is improved compared to the existing system.

LED를 이용한 가시광 통신 시스템에서 2-step 인터리빙을 통한 BER 성능 향상

이종현,서효덕,한두희,이계산,이규진 한국위성정보통신학회 2015 한국위성정보통신학회논문지 Vol.10 No.2

Visible Light Communication (VLC)은 Light Emitting Diode (LED)를 사용하여 조명의 역할과 통신의 기능을 동시에 구현할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다. VLC는 통신 가능 영역인 Field Of View (FOV)를 가져 높은 보안성을 가지고, 가시광을 이용해 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능하다. VLC 시스템에서 RGB 채널에 데이터를 분할하여 전송하는 방법은, RGB 채널에 동일한 데이터를 전송하는 방법에 비해 빠른 데이터 전송 속도를 가지고 있으나, 가시광의 산란 및 반사로 인한 데이터의 burst 에러가 발생할 시 복원이 불가 능하여 BER 성능의 열화가 발생한다는 단점이 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 VLC에서 빠른 데이터 전송률을 가지면서 BER 성능 향상을 만족하는 2-step 인터리빙 기법을 제안한다. 제안 시스템의 Cyclic 인터리빙과 convolutional 인터리빙을 통해 RGB 채널의 성능 평준화 및 데이터 에러율의 감소로 전체 시스템의 BER 성능이 향상됨을 확인 할 수 있다. 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.

New Type of White-light LED Lighting for Illumination and Optical Wireless Communication under Obstacles

최수일 한국광학회 2012 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.16 No.3

Visible light communications (VLC) use modern solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to broadcast information. Emerging white-light LEDs allow the combination of lighting and optical wireless communication in one optical source. In this paper, a new LED lighting design using one-chip-type white LEDs is proposed for efficient illumination and optical wireless communications under the existence of several obstacles. Lighting and communication performance are analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed LED lighting. Specifically, the signal-to-noise ratio considering intersymbol interference and the bit-error rate of variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) with dimming control are considered.

Modeling green-light fiber amplifiers for visible-light communication systems

Muhammad Hanif Ahmed Khan Khushik,Chun Jiang 한국광학회 2019 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.3 No.2

The visible-light communication (VLC) system is a promising candidate to fulfill the present and future demands for a high-speed, cost-effective, and larger-bandwidth communication system. VLC modulates the visible-light signals from solid-state LEDs to transmit data between transmitter and receiver, but the broadcasting and the line-of-sight propagation nature of visible-light signals make VLC a communication system with a limited operating range. We present a novel architecture to increase the operating range of VLC. In our proposed architecture, we guide the visible-light signals through the fiber and amplify the dissipated signals using visible-light fiber amplifiers (VLFAs), which are the most important and the novel devices needed for the proposed architecture of the VLC. Therefore, we design, analyze, and apply a VLFA to VLC, to overcome the inherent drawbacks of VLC. Numerical results show that under given constant conditions, the VLFA can amplify the signal up to 35.0 dB. We have analyzed the effects of fiber length, active ion concentration, pump power, and input signal power on the gain and the noise figure (NF).

Flicker-free Visible Light Communication Using Three-level RZ Modulation

( Seong-ho Lee ) 한국센서학회 2020 센서학회지 Vol.29 No.2

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.

이창우(李昌雨),최덕재(崔德載),김한필(金漢必) 한국조명·전기설비학회 2013 조명·전기설비학회논문지 Vol.27 No.10

Wireless Visible Light Communication is the technology that enables communication using LED illumination Infrastructure instead of existing illumination such as incandescent lamp or fluorescent light. Because VLC uses light for communication, it has no problem of frequency permission and is harmless to human body. It is also possible to check the communication through eye. So VLC can be used as a supplement to the Radio Frequency communication, Infrared in indoor environment. So far, researchers on the LED Visible light communication have focused on the increasing transmission speed, transmission distance, modulation method. However, there is few research of main factors that influence on system performance. System performance has been mainly predicted through simulation. In this paper, I recognized that these factors such as outside light noise, obstacle, LED panel position or emitted angle have a great impact on wireless communication system. So I experimented VLC system by changing distance and position to discover location suitable for BER regulation.
