On the Performance of Mobile Visible Light Communications

TL;DR

This paper experimentally evaluates mobile visible light communication performance and introduces OCT precoding to mitigate mobility effects, demonstrating superior data rates and reduced packet loss compared to existing methods.

Contribution

The paper proposes OCT precoding for mobile VLC, showing it outperforms adaptive-loaded DMT in speed and reliability.

Findings

OCT precoding achieves higher data rates (~300 Mbps) in mobile VLC.

OCT precoding significantly reduces packet loss rates.

Experimental results validate the effectiveness of OCT precoding in real-world scenarios.

Abstract

We experimentally characterize the performance of mobile VLC and propose using OCT precoding to combat mobility-induced performance degradation. Results show that for approximate 300-Mb/s mobile VLC transmission, OCT precoding outperforms adaptive-loaded DMT and offers significant packet loss rate reduction.
