A high-speed phosphorescent LED-based visible light communication system utilizing SQGNRC precoding technique

Abstract

Peak-over-average power ratio (PAPR) control utilizing precoding technique based on square rootgeneralized raised cosine function is proposed and verified experimentally through a visible light communication system employing phosphor-based white light-emitting diodes for the first time. The simulation results show that the improved precoding matrix can further reduce PAPR by nearly 1 dB compared with existing precoding matrix based on square root raised cosine function and significantly achieve 3.5 dB improvement in contrast to original signals without precoding. The experimental result also proves that the bit error rate performance can be effectively improved by 1.62 dB at the same bandwidth and 0.76 dB at the same raw data rate in terms of quality factor when proposed precoding technique is applied, which clearly demonstrates its benefit and feasibility.
