Real-time Audio &Video Transmission System Based on Visible Light Communication

With the increasing popularity of solid sate lighting devices, Visible Light Communication (VLC) is globally recognized as an advanced and promising technology to realize short-range, high speed as well as large capacity wireless data transmission. In this paper, we propose a prototype of real-time audio and video broadcast system using inexpensive commercially available light emitting diode (LED) lamps. Experimental results show that real-time high quality audio and video with the maximum distance of 3 m can be achieved through proper layout of LED sources and improvement of concentration effects. Lighting model within room environment is designed and simulated which indicates close relationship between layout of light sources and distribution of illuminance.

LED Modulation Characteristics in a Visible-Light Communication System

This paper conducts a research on modulation characteristics of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in a visible-light communication (VLC) system. Through analysis of the modulation characteristics of LEDs with different emitting sizes, we find that there is a similar linear relationship between LED’s 3dB bandwidth and the operation current density. This experiment also shows that high series resistance is one major issue that limits our LED's modulation speed. To further improve the LED bandwidth, the resistance can be reduced by optimizing device layout as well as reducing material bulk resistance. Clearly, this study provides an approach to increase the modulation bandwidth of GaN-based LEDs for VLC systems.

Demonstration of a low‐complexity memory‐polynomial‐aided neural network equalizer for CAP visible‐light communication with superluminescent diode

Visible-light communication(VLC)stands as a promising component of the future communication network by providing high-capacity,low-latency,and high-security wireless communication.Superluminescent diode(SLD)is proposed as a new light emitter in the VLC system due to its properties of droop-free emission,high optical power density,and low speckle-noise.In this paper,we analyze a VLC system based on SLD,demonstrating effective implementation of carrierless amplitude and phase modulation(CAP).We create a low-complexity memory-polynomial-aided neural network(MPANN)to replace the traditional finite impulse response(FIR)post-equalization filters of CAP,leading to significant mitigation of the linear and nonlinear distortion of the VLC channel.The MPANN shows a gain in Q factor of up to 2.7 dB higher than other equalizers,and more than four times lower complexity than a standard deep neural network(DNN),hence,the proposed MPANN opens a pathway for the next generation of robust and efficient neural network equalizers in VLC.We experimentally demonstrate a proof-of-concept 2.95-Gbit/s transmission using MPANN-aided CAP with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation(16-QAM)through a 30-cm channel based on the 442-nm blue SLD emitter.

Design and Analysis of Traffic Information Transmission System Based on Visible Light Communication

Visible Light Communication( VLC) based on LED is a new wireless communication technology with high response rate and good modulation characteristics in the wavelengths of 380- 780 nm. Compared with conventional methods,the waveband of VLC is harmless to human and safe to communication because of no magnetism radiation. An audio information transmission system using LED traffic lights is presented based on VLC technology. The system is consisted of transmitting terminal,receiving terminal and communication channel. Some experiments were made under real communication environment. The experimental results showed that the traffic information transmission system works steadily with good communication quality and achieves the purpose of transmitting audio information through LED traffic lights,with a data transfer rate up to 250 kbps over a distance of 5 meters.

Design and Simulation of an Audio Signal Alerting and Automatic Control System

A large part of our daily lives is spent with audio information. Massive obstacles are frequently presented by the colossal amounts of acoustic information and the incredibly quick processing times. This results in the need for applications and methodologies that are capable of automatically analyzing these contents. These technologies can be applied in automatic contentanalysis and emergency response systems. Breaks in manual communication usually occur in emergencies leading to accidents and equipment damage. The audio signal does a good job by sending a signal underground, which warrants action from an emergency management team at the surface. This paper, therefore, seeks to design and simulate an audio signal alerting and automatic control system using Unity Pro XL to substitute manual communication of emergencies and manual control of equipment. Sound data were trained using the neural network technique of machine learning. The metrics used are Fast Fourier transform magnitude, zero crossing rate, root mean square, and percentage error. Sounds were detected with an error of approximately 17%;thus, the system can detect sounds with an accuracy of 83%. With more data training, the system can detect sounds with minimal or no error. The paper, therefore, has critical policy implications about communication, safety, and health for underground mine.

20.231 Gbit/s tricolor red/green/blue laser diode based bidirectional signal remodulation visible-light communication system

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a recorded 1-m bidirectional 20.231-Gbit/s tricolor R/G/B laser diode(LD) based visible-light communication(VLC) system supporting signal remodulation. In the signal remodulation system, an LD source is not needed at the client side. The client reuses the downstream signal sent from the central office(CO) and remodulates it to produce the upstream signal. As the LD sources are located at the CO, the laser wavelength and temperature managements at the cost-sensitive client side are not needed.This is the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of a >20 Gbit∕s data rate tricolor R/G/B VLC signal transmission supporting upstream remodulation.
