Visible light positioning systems (VLP) have attracted significant commercial and research interest because of the many advantages they possess over other applications such as radio frequency (RF) positioning systems. In this work, an experimental configuration of an indoor VLP system based on the well-known Lambertian light emission, is investigated. The corresponding results are also presented, and show that the system retains high enough accuracy to be operational, even in cases of low transmitted power and high background noise.

“…The main factor that significantly affects and decreases the performance of VLC systems is the background noise, which mainly originates from sunlight radiation, and this is the main reason why such communication systems are mostly used for indoor applications [14]. One of the most effective techniques that reduces the sunlight background noise is the appliance of suitable optical filters at the receiver in order to decrease the noise power in the wavelength range that is not used for data transmission [15]. In this work, a low-cost vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) thin film is developed and experimentally investigated in order to be evaluated as an optical band-pass filter in front of the receiver of a VLC system to reject the wavelength range of the EM spectrum, which is not used for data transmission, reducing the background noise.…”

Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems use light-emitting diode (LED) technology to provide high-capacity optical links. The advantages they offer, such as the high data rate and the low installation and operational cost, have identified them as a significant solution for modern networks. However, such systems are vulnerable to various exogenous factors, with the background sunlight noise having the greatest impact. In order to reduce the negative influence of the background noise effect, optical filters can be used. In this work, for the first time, a low-cost optical vanadium dioxide (VO2) optical filter has been designed and experimentally implemented based on the requirements of typical and realistic VLC systems in order to significantly increase their performance by reducing the transmittance of background noise. The functionality of the specific filter is investigated by means of its bit error rate (BER) performance estimation, taking into account its experimentally measured characteristics. Numerous results are provided in order to prove the significant performance enhancement of the VLC systems which, as it is shown, reaches almost six orders of magnitude in some cases, using the specific experimental optical filter.
