Visible light communication (VLC) transmission system, combined with lighting and communication, has a great application value in the field of intelligent transportation. To efficiently improve the performance of VLC-based intelligent transportation system, an improved precoding scheme is proposed and experimentally verified. Partial data-carrying subcarrier (PDS)-precoding scheme can balance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and combat frequency selective fading (FSF) in the VLC-based intelligent transportation system. For ∼3.52 Gb/s DMT-VLC system with 1.9-m free space transmission, the OCT-based PDS-precoding signal shows almost the same BER performance as full data-carrying subcarriers precoding ones. Compared with the conventional scheme, the BER is reduced from 2e-3 to 8.14e-5 by using the proposed PDS-precoding. PDS-precoding is a nice choice to degrade the unbalanced damage for data-carrying subcarriers (SCs) in the bandwidth-limited VLC-based intelligent transportation system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
