Abstract

In this paper, we describe a wavelength-division multiplexing visible-light communication (VLC) system using two colored light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with similar emission wavelengths. A multi-input multi-output signal-separation method using a neural network is proposed to cancel the optical cross chatter caused by the spectral overlap of LEDs. The experimental results demonstrate that signal separation using neural networks can be achieved in wavelength-multiplexed VLC systems with a bit error rate of less than 3.8 × 10-3 (forward error correction limit). Furthermore, the simulation results reveal that the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) is improved by 2 dB for the successive interference canceller (SIC) compared to the zero-forcing method.
