Experimental Study of a MISO-VLC using two LED Luminaires

Abstract

In this work, the multiple-input, single-output (MISO) technique is implemented with OFDM modulation and the variation of the cyclic prefix (CP) is used to optimize the performance of an indoor VLC link, while maintaining the lighting conditions within the recommended levels (300–500 lux). Results show that by increasing the number of luminaires and by selecting the appropriate value of the OFDM cyclic prefix, the system's bit error rate (BER ≤ 10–3) is improved.
