Visible light communication (VLC) using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is drawing much attention. There are two types of VLC reception devices, a photodiode and an image sensor. VLC using image sensor is called image sensor based VLC. As the receiver only uses the image sensor pixels that sense LED transmission sources and discards other pixels, including those sensing noise sources, image sensor based VLC is an attractive solution for outdoor mobile applications. However, little evidence is available for channel modeling of image sensor based VLC in mobile outdoor environments, especially for motion modeling of VLC transmitter. In this paper, we propose a motion model of VLC transmitter. In particular, we consider three cases; infrastructure-to-vehicle VLC (I2V-VLC), vehicle-to-infrastructure VLC (V2I-VLC), and vehicle-to-vehicle VLC (V2V-VLC). As a result, we show that the motion model of the VLC transmitter on the captured image for the three aforementioned situations (i.e., I2V-VLC, V2I-VLC, and V2V-VLC) can be expressed in the identical pinhole camera model.

We have been proposed cooperative diversity receiving ABBA code as cooperative diversity via simple relaying with QOSTBC(Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code). This scheme offers coding gain by permutation of space-time coded signal sequences in the relay nodes. So the relay nodes don't need carrier recovery and complete the signal process in the intermediate frequency band. In this paper, we discuss two improved scheme with various channel model. These schemes improve the previous scheme without loss of the merit in its relay process. Moreover, we sum up cooperative diversity via simple relaying with QOSTBC to discuss these schemes with various channel model. We evaluate effect of these scheme in terms of signal matrixes and simulate bit error rate of the prposed and improved scheme with with various channel model, respectively.

The present paper considers an optical spatial channel in visible light communication (VLC) using LED and a high-speed camera. In general, the optical spatial channel affects the communication performance. However, the previous studies have not enough discussed the channel for VLC. This study focuses on the communication distance, which is one of channel parameters, and investigates the relationship between the distance and a receiving characteristic in the VLC.

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of layered space-time coding (STC) in an outdoor image-sensor-based (IS-based) visible light communication (VLC) system. We examined that for low-resolution IS-based VLC channel where intensity modulated signals from two different light emitting diodes (LEDs) are detected at one pixel on the image plane, STC allows to decouple them, thus receiving data with no errors. Consequently, STC offers extending the transmission distance. In the layered STC presented here, additional bit streams are aligned in the 2^n × 2^n LED array for increasing the transmission rate per symbol duration for the case where the spatial resolution is improved. A prototype of three layered STC is built with an 8 × 8 LED array. Our experimental results validate that additional bit streams (layer-2 and -3), aligned in the layer-1 STC matrix pair, are extracted with no errors when the receiver comes within 155m and 55m, respectively, from the LED array, without decreasing 210m of the transmission distance of layer-1 bit stream.

We analyze channel fluctuation in terms of optical flow from measured data.

Light-emitting diode (LED) transmitters based optical wireless communication (OWC) systems offer the potential for new generation communication systems. Particularly, an image sensor based OWC systems consist of the LED transmitters and camera receivers are expected to contribute to intelligent transport system (ITS) for driving supports. For high achievable data rates, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based OWC systems have attracted a great deal of attention. Despite attractive features of optical OFDM, only few attempts have so far been made to adopt it as a modulation scheme of an image sensor based OWC system. There remains a need for an evaluation of adopting an optical OFDM to the image sensor based OWC systems. Another important issue needs to be addressed is the performance degradation due to a frequency response of an actual image sensor device, especially a signal attenuation loss in higher frequency. In addition to such loss, a narrow band noise generated by its circuits also degrades the performance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate BER performances of the optical-OFDM using an actual image sensor device, the optical communication image sensor (OCI). From simulation results, it is found that the frequency response and the narrowband noise at 12MHz of the OCI lead to the significant reduction of BER performances. Additionally, the results shows that ACO-OFDM shows a little better performance compared to DCO-OFDM with the same bandwidth efficiency.

For improvement of the coded modulation, we propose the signal sets with triangular constellation and label shaping. The proposed signal set can gain the merits of them despite of a few signal points and a simple modification. We indicate the channel capacity, PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio), BER (Bit Error Rate) in case of BICM-ID (Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation with Iterative Decoding) and PAPR with band limited of the 7APSK (Amplitude and Phase-Shift Keying) and modified 14APSK. Especially, the results shows modified 14APSK we proposed can improve 16QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in terms of BER and PAPR, simultaneously.

In this paper, we proposed a transmit diversity with a simple transmitter. Specifically, we connect simplex RF (Radio Frequency) circuits with two antennas and transmit the signals whose phases are rotated and IQ component are interleaved alternately via two antennas. In the receiver, the signals with the signal space diversity are received in spite of the simple transmitter. So we can achieve space diversity and reliable wireless communications. In the performance evaluation, we confirm the 4dB gain at BER=10^<-2> in bit error rate performance.

Image Sensor Based Visible Light Communication and Its Application to Pose, Position, and Range Estimations

T. Yamazato, S. Haruyama

IEICE Transactions on Communications Vol. E97-B ( 9 ) page： 1759-1765 2014.9

Language：English

This study introduces an image sensor based visible light communication (VLC) and its application to pose, position, and range estimations. There are two types of visible-light receiver: a photodiode and an image sensor. A photodiode is usually used as a reception device of VLC, and an image sensor consisting of a large number of pixels can also be used as a VLC reception device. A photodiode detects the signal intensity of incoming light, while an image sensor not only detects the incoming signal intensity but also an accurate angle of arrival of light emitted from a visible light transmitter such as a white LED light. After angles of arrival of light are detected by an image sensor, positioning and data reception can be performed. The ability of an image sensor to detect an accurate angle of arrival will provide attractive applications of VLC such as pose, position calculation, and range estimation. Furthermore, because the image sensor has the ability to spatially separate sources, outdoor positioning even with strong sunlight is possible by discarding the associated pixels of noise sources.

Language：English

Stochastic Resonance (SR) is well known as a phenomenon in which the weak signal in a nonlinear system can be detected by added noise. We consider the application of SR phenomenon to a wireless communication system. The receiver using SR phenomenon can detect the subthreshold signal which is not detectable by the conventional receiver. The effect of SR receiver has been verified, but it has never been verified in radio frequency which is used by a wireless system. In this paper, we consider the implementation of SR System for Radio Frequency and evaluate its performance of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

H. Tanaka, K. Chiga, T. Yamazato, Y. Tadokoro, and S. Arai

International Symposium on Nonlinear Theory and its Application page： 193-196 2014.9

Language：English

Stochastic resonance (SR) enhances system responses by increasing noise. By applying SR to a receiver, a subthreshold signal not receivable by a conventional linear receiver could be received. Previously, we proposed an analysis method of the SR receiver using a comparator, and evaluated its bit error rate performance. The comparator is known as a simple non-dynamical system exhibiting SR. However, a dynamical system can have better performance since it has a memory effect. In this sense, we propose an analysis method of the SR receiver using a Schmitt trigger known as a simple dynamical system, and evaluate its bit error rate performance. A performance comparison of the comparator and the Schmitt trigger is also shown.
