Abstract
In visible light communication (VLC) systems with intensity modulation (IM) and direct detection (DD), the modulation bandwidth of light emitting diode (LED) is limited, and dispersion of the channel might cause inter-symbol interference. Also, the transmitted signal must be nonnegative. Thus most modulation schemes for radio communications cannot be used directly for such a system. This paper develops a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) VLC system that overcomes the modulation bandwidth limitation of LED and satisfies the requirements of the transmitted signal for IM/DD. Also, two transmit data streams require only one inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) block, resulting in a low computational complexity. The transmitter architecture, receive algorithm, bit error rate performance, channel capacity analysis, and simulation results are provided.
