High speed VLC
• Summary of strategies to achieve high speed VLC (single channel)
Pre-equalisation
Post-equalisation
Modulation scheme
Modulation bandwidth
Demonstrated data rate
White channel OOK-NRZ 2 MHz 10 Mbit/s (BER < 10-6)
White channel x OOK-NRZ 25 MHz 40 Mbit/s (BER < 10-6)
Blue channel x OOK-NRZ 45 MHz 80 Mbit/s (BER < 10-6)
Blue channel x OOK-NRZ 50 MHz 100 Mbit/s (BER < 10-9)
Blue channel DMT-QAM 25 MHz 100 Mbit/s (BER < 10-6)
Blue channel DMT-QAM 50 MHz 231 Mbit/s (BER < 10-3)
- Bandwidth expansion: equalisation- High bandwidth efficiency: complex modulation- SNR and system dynamic range must be large to support both approaches

Gigabit VLC
If the channel matrix H is full rank, it is possible to transmit data in parallel

Organic LED (OLED)

34
OLED
• OLEDs:– Invented by Kodak in the 1980s– Intended for use in screens (brighter, thinner, faster,
lighter and less power consumption than LCDs)– Produced in large panels that illuminate a broad area.– Can be flexible with the relevant plastic substrate
(create different shape)

OLED
Equalisation approach
Merit: total value of serial capacitors is smaller than individual capacitor value
The external Ceq minimises the effect of OLED capacitance

Remaining Challenges
• Higher data rate?• Uplink communications?• Light dimming (asynchronous
transmission)?• Heat dissipation?

Conclusions
Optical Wireless Communications is an emerging
technology that truly delivers data at very high rate with fibre-like quality
