Ambient LED Light Noise Reduction Using Adaptive Differential Equalization in Li-Fi Wireless Link

For Li-Fi wireless links based on a white light emitting diode, an adaptive differential equalization (ADE) technique that reduces various noises such as interference noise and shot one generated from ambient light sources is pro-posed. The ADE technique reduces noise by taking advantage of the fact...

description For Li-Fi wireless links based on a white light emitting diode, an adaptive differential equalization (ADE) technique that reduces various noises such as interference noise and shot one generated from ambient light sources is pro-posed. The ADE technique reduces noise by taking advantage of the fact that the derivative between adjacent sampling points of signal with digital waveform is very different from that of noise with the random analog waveform. Furthermore, a weighting function that reflects the Poisson characteristics of shot noise is applied to the ADE technique in order to maximize the reduction efficiency of ambient noise. The signal-to-noise ratio of input non-return-to-zero-on–off keying (NRZ-OOK) signal is improved by 7.5 dB at the first-generation forward error correction (FEC) threshold (the bit error rate (BER) of 8 × 10<sup>−5</sup>) using the optical wireless experimental link. In addition, it is confirmed that it is possible to maintain the transmission performance corresponding to the BER of 1 × 10<sup>−5</sup> by using the proposed ADE technique, even when the intensity of the ambient light source increases by 6 dB.
