Abstract

Visible light communication is a communication method using an LED having a high-speed ON / OFF rate data to be transmitted, it is used as a wireless high speed data transmission. VLC system evolves, the problem of basic research is intended to improve performance and ensure reliability of the communication. The nature of the visible light communication, communication is performed only in the reach of the light, which indicates a big difference by the emission angle of the light. Therefore, in this paper, in the case of indoor environments generally, with the attributes of the multiple LED is equipped, was applied to a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication system. and analyzed SNR performance and total power can be obtained on the reception side by changing the emission angle of the transmitter. As a result of the simulation was run against this, it was confirmed that there is a significant impact on the performance of BER and SNR performance by the emission angle of the transmitter.

가시광 무선통신은 전송하고자 하는 데이터를 빠른 ON/OFF 속도를 갖는 LED를 이용해 고속의 무선 데이터 전송 수단으로 사용하는 통신 방식이다. VLC 시스템이 발전함에 따라 기본적인 연구 문제는 통신 신뢰성 확보와 성능을 향상시키는 것이다. 가시광 무선통신의 특성 상 빛의 도달 범위에만 통신이 이루어지며, 이는 빛의 발광각도에 따라서 큰 차이를 나타낸다. 이에 본 논문에서는 일반적인 실내 환경의 경우, 여러 개의 LED가 장착되어 있는 속성을 이용하여 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 통신 시스템 적용하였으며, 송신기의 발광각도를 변화시켜 수신단에서 얻는 총 전력과 SNR성능을 분석하였다. 이에 대해 시뮬레이션을 실행한 결과, 송신기의 발광 각도에 따라서 SNR 성능과 BER성능에 많은 영향을 끼침을 확인하였다.
