We developed a wireless duplex communication system using visible light communication concept. In this work we investigated a downlink data transmission channel. We modelled the optical configuration of the system, calculated optical losses, fabricated the system and measured downlink channel parameters under test of analog and digital signals. The analysis showed that with a heterodyne scheme used for transmitting signals through visible light, the model of additive Gaussian noise is applicable to the channel and there are no phase distortions in the system. The system has shown the capability to operate with modulation types according 802.11 IEEE protocol.
We developed a navigation system based on wireless visible light data transmission channel and an algorithm for the decoding on smartphones. The work aims to create an interactive navigation system inside the Hermitage Museum for museum staff. The system was designed for using a modern smart-phone device as a receiver, a conventional LED illuminator as transmitter and a RGB diode as a navigation point in each room of the museum. We developed a modulator for data transmission, an algorithm for receiving and processing information using a stock camera of an iOS-based smart-phone, organized a point-to-point network between the LED illuminators and the server with a full back-end and front-end communication. The system allows transmitting data with rates up to 2 kbps on distance up to 1 meter.
We analyze the wireless visible light simplex data transmission channel based on visible light communication (VLC) technology and determine 2 main types of errors that occur while using a modern smartphone as a receiver. We have calculated highest probable data transfer speed in our communication channel, and have developed a cyclical data transmission system with bandwidths of up to 4 kbits at a distance of 1 m, using a conventional domestic LED illuminator equipped with a modulator as a transmitter and a developed client application for an Android smartphone with a standard camera module as a receiver.
We developed wireless visible light simplex data transmission channel and error correction algorithm for the reciever. The system was design specially for using modern smartphone device as a receiver and a conventional domestic LED illuminator as transmitter. We calculated highest probable data transfer speed in our communication channel, fabricated the transmitter modulator and developed the client application for an android smartphone equipped with stock camera module, perform a series of data speed measurements and conducted the analysis of both analog and digital signals. The system allowed to transmit data with rates up to 8 kbps on distance up to 1.5 meters.
