Performance Evaluation of Visible Light Communication System Deployment using Multipower Multiple LED Scenario

Abstract

5G networks technology has to offer exceptionally high capacity. One of the most promising approaches is optical wireless communication technology. Alternatively, optical wireless communication technologies can be adopted as technology to provide higher data rates. Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a communication technology for future high capacity with a range of the electromagnetic spectrum of 370–780 nm utilizing light-emitting diodes (LED). This research investigates performance in implementing multiple LEDs in a Visible Light Communication system in a closed indoor room. The simulation computer results indicate that the VLC system's performance improves when using higher power transmit for multiple LEDs. The highest received power is about −16 dBm for reaching Bit Error Rate (BER) ≤ 10−3 and distance propagation transmitter to receiver at 6.23 m.
