Abstract

In the recent past, research in visible light communication (VLC) has gained a lot interest due to its distinct characteristics in supporting high-speed optical wireless communication and illumination simultaneously. To implement a reliable VLC system, few parameters have to be considered for communication channels such as distance between transmitter and receiver, data rate, line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) communication paths, signal power and delay of the channel. In this paper, we designed and simulated a LOS and NLOS multipath VLC model using single and multiple LEDs. Basic on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme and available conventional LED configuration have been considered to analyze the effects of field of view (FOV) and the reflection of the light signal on received power level. Moreover, BER and quality of transmission were measured for single and multipath transmissions considering distance, incident and irradiance angles.
