Abstract
In this paper, a light emitting diode grouping based spatial modulation (LGSM) scheme is investigated for the indoor visible light communication (VLC) system for a better symbol error rate (SER) performance with the aid of characteristics of the spatial modulation. In consideration of the high channel correlation property of the visible light communication, the multiple transmitting LEDs are separated into different groups with the purpose of alleviating the channel correlation among each group. Owing to the proposed grouping scheme, the spatial information and channel correlation property can be perfectly utilized to improve the system performance of SER, which implies a higher transmission capability by the proposed LGSM scheme. Meanwhile, the mathematical derivation of SER for the proposed LGSM scheme is also provided by considering the maximal likelihood detection. Both of the simulated and theoretical results have proved that a better SER performance can be obtained via the proposed LGSM scheme compared with the common spatial modulation VLC system. Furthermore, the influence of the elevation angle of the receive photo detector in the LGSM VLC system is also investigated.
