Time division duplex for preventing reflection interference in visible light communication

Abstract

In this work, an experimental time division duplex system is presented to prevent interference in visible light communication. The 40-LED array and a single LED were used for downlink and uplink respectively. The interference of signal reflection on mirrors was discussed and removed using time division duplex. At the distance of 2 m, the data rate achieved is above 1Mbps with bit error rate below 2×10-5 in each of the direction.
