Optimal Multi-Element Vlc Bulb Design With Power And Lighting Quality Constraints

Abstract

In the modern era of radio frequency (RF) spectrum crunch, visible light communication (VLC) offers a promising alternative. Thanks to its unlicensed and large bandwidth, VLC technology can deliver high throughput, energy efficient and low cost data communications. In this paper, we consider a VLC architecture with a novel multi-element hemispherical bulb, which can transmit multiple data streams over multiple LED boards. Simulations considering various VLC transmitter configurations and topologies show that good link quality and high spatial reuse can be maintained in typical indoor communication scenarios. We develop the characteristics of an optimum multi-element bulb design in terms of both illumination and communication under various constraints.
