Abstract
Visible light communication (VLC) uses run-length limited (RLL) code to avoid flickering and support different dimming ranges. In this paper, we design an error control coding scheme for VLC using polar code as a forward error correction (FEC) code in serial concatenation with an RLL code. We propose to use soft iterative decoding between RLL code and polar code. Extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart is also used to illustrate the proposed serial concatenated scheme's iterative decoding behavior. We will show improvement in bit error rate (BER) performance as compared to the hard decoding based polar code proposed in the literature for VLC.
