Adaptive equalization for high speed optical MIMO wireless communications using white LED
Light emitting diode (LED) is one of the most important light sources in the 21st century and has broad prospects in the illumination. Currently, the white LED is used not only for illumination, but also for transmission data. A new technique referred as visible light communication (VLC) is rapidly growing in optical communication. In order to enhance the performance of the communication link, we present optical multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) communication system to achieve high data rate, which can mitigate the shadow effect of indoor communication. Moreover, the MIMO will bring about multi-path effect, which causes inter-symbol interference (ISI) to degrade the performance of the link. Hence, an adaptive equalization technique has been used in the receiver system, which can reduce the ISI when the system is determined to receive symbol. Finally, we have simulated the MIMO system with adaptive equalization. The simulation results show significant improvement in the transmission rate using on off keying (OOK) and the average signal to noise ratio (SNR) in this channel has increased 13.5 dB after equalization.
