ABSTRACT
• Visible light communication (VLC) is one of the key area in
wireless communications.
• Which work similarly to fiber optic links, except the beam is
transmitted through free space.
• While the transmitter and receiver must require line-of-sight
conditions, they have the benefit of eliminating the need for
broadcast rights and buried cables.
• VLC communications systems can be easily deployed since
they are inexpensive, small, low power and do not require
any radio interference studies.

INTRODUCTION
• The idea of using light as a communication
medium was implemented by Alexander
Graham Bell in 1880 with his invention of
the photo phone, a device that transmitted a
voice signal on a beam of light.
• The invention of Graham Bell was not
success because he could not generate a
useful carrier frequency for the transmission
of light beam from point to point.
• The idea of light communication also
evolved from Morse code transmission.
• Now the light we use in our daily life can
not only be used for providing light but also
for communication.
• With the invention of LED the idea of using
light as a communication medium has
started again.
• In VLC light is used between 400THz to
800THz of frequency and wavelength is
between 400nm to 700nm.

Problem Formulation
• This project proposes simulation model of high data rate
VLC system and evaluation of the relationship between
the data rate, delay spread and signal distortion.
• Multiple reflection paths are considered in this study.

Problem Identification
• From the literature survey various aspects related to visible light communication are
investigated.
• The basic concept of visible-light communication system using LED as a source
appears to be the key part in a lot of applications.
• Some of the challenges faced in the realm of VLC systems for various applications are
inspected. Few among them are:
• High Data Rate
• Uplink Issue
• Regulatory Issues
• Line of sight
• Range (distance between transmitter and receiver)
• Interference from sunlight
• Out of these issues, the data rate plays a major role in the VLC systems.
• This project investigates the possibility of a high data rate system in multi-reflection
environment.

Problem Statement & Objectives
• The objective of this project is to analyze and understand the
existing VLC systems to investigate the possibilities of improvising
the performance of the system in multi reflection environment.
• Using the Optisystem simulation tool for modeling multiple
reflection VLC systems, the relation between the data rate and
manually calculated RMS delay spread has been established.
• The project investigates the relation between the RMS delay spread
and the data rate of the VLC system given by the equation

Limitations
• The proposed VLC system can be used only in an indoor environment.
• The system cannot be used outdoor since the distortion from sunlight is very
high.
• When distance between the transmitter and the receiver increases the data loss
is high.
• Another major limitation is the line of sight condition.
• The complexity of the system design increases as the data rate of the real
system is very high and hence the cost of the system increases considerably.
• So high speed switching electronics and high speed LEDs and phototransistors
are required for the hardware implementation.

system made communication and lighting
possible and they discussed about the
influence of reflection and inter symbol
interference.

communication performance is degraded
severely by inter symbol interference.

In this paper, P. Amirshahi and M. Kavehrad not only discussed the potential capacities of
emerging power line communications and white LED indoor communications for broadband
access, but also the fundamental analysis of VLC systems using white LEDs. In which they
designed a white LED system for lighting and high data rate indoor communications in a
model room such that there is no blind spot in the room for data communications.
Some of the important things that were observed from this paper are as follows:
• The receiver receives at least one LOS signal when the receiver’s coverage radius is greater
than 2 meters.
• The minimum field of view needed for the receiver is equal or greater than 250
• LOS path signals have higher powers as compared to reflected path signals.

techniques is the equalization process.

receive only low frequency data when it is far away from the transmitter.
• Their experimental results showed that a car on their prototype system put on its
brakes 2m from an LED using 16:6kHz.
• In this experiment the influence of the weather, susceptibility to noise and multi-
fading on rainy days are not considered. For real-world usage we have to consider
these parameters.

Scope for Future Work
• In the future a generalized method for evaluating RMS
delay spread for n-LED system should be framed.
• Similarly multiple receivers working synchronously can
be used to post process the signal to improve the
deformation due to the delay spread of multiple reflected
optical signal.
