Abstract
This paper investigates the error bounds for position estimation in downlink visible light communication (VLC) systems. More precisely, we use Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) to study the effect of signal-dependent shot noise (SDSN) on the error performance in visible light positioning. We consider synchronous, quasi-synchronous, and asynchronous visible light positioning (VLP) systems. The system performance is assessed based on the position estimation, and uses information from parameters relating to the time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA), and received signal strength (RSS). The results demonstrate that SDSN has a negative impact on the error bounds in all considered scenarios. Moreover, the level of degradation observed is not uniform among all cases at higher SDSN levels.
