Description
Summary:This letter reports an experimental demonstration of indoor wireless visible-light communication transmission at 1 Gb/s. The system consists of a four-channel multiple-input multiple-output link that uses white LED sources, each transmitting signals at 250 Mb/s using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation. A nine-channel imaging diversity receiver is used to detect the signals, and an average bit error rate of 10-3 is achieved at the room illumination level of ∼ 1000 lux at 1-m range. © 1989-2012 IEEE.
