Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 3rd International Workshop in Optical Wireless Communications (IWOW) Conference Start Date: 2014, Sept. 17 Conference End Date: 2014, Sept. 17 Conference Location: Funchal, Madeira, Portugal We consider a visible light communication system with 2 transmit light emitting diodes (LED) and n r receive photodiodes. An optical generalized space shift keying modulation scheme is considered for the transmission of bits where each LED can be either in ON state or OFF state at a given time. With this set-up, we design in this paper a precoder for this modulation scheme given the channel state information to improve the bit error rate performance of the system. As conventional precoding techniques for radio frequency at the transmitter cannot be applied to the optical intensity channel, we formulate an optimization problem with constraints for this specific channel. An analytical solution for the precoder is derived and the system performance is compared with and without precoder.
