Abstract
The ever increasing need to be able to take advantage of broadband services without the need to increase the electromagnetic pollution, has led the scientific community, in recent years, to look for alternatives to the use of a radio frequency communication. From this, it stems the need of budding paradigm of visible light communications. In the context of the activities of the IEEE 802.15.7 Task Group, a new modulation format named Color Shift Keying (CSK), based on sending signals spaced in the domain of the wavelength able to both support the communication and the illumination of indoor environments has been tackled. In this paper, a transmission scheme based on the use of the CSK modulation which also makes use of a modulation format that descends from the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) has been proposed. The aim of this contribution is also proposing the receiver architecture for that kind of transmission and then evaluate its performance in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) of Transmission Rate by performing also comparisons with the literature. The proposed scheme is robust with respect to optical interference and presents high rate and low BER at the cost of a bit complexity increasing with respect to other approaches. © 2014 AEIT.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
