The VLC channel characteristics and links were evaluated under the diverse situations of an empty room and a room with very strong shadowing effects resulting from mini cubicle offices. RGB laser diodes (LDs) were used to mitigate the low modulation bandwidth of conventional transmitters (light emitting diodes, LEDs) in the VLC system. In addition, an angle diversity receiver (ADR) was introduced to mitigate inter-symbol-interference (ISI). Furthermore, a delay adaptation technique was used to further reduce the effect of ISI and multipath dispersion. The combination of delay adaptation and ADR (DAT ADR system) added a degree of freedom to the link design, which resulted in a VLC system that has the ability to provide high data rates (i.e. 5 Gbps) in the considered harsh indoor environment. Our proposed system used a simple on-off keying (OOK) modulation format and it was able to provide data rates of 5 Gbps and a bit-error-rate (BER) of 10-3 in the worst case scenario in the considered realistic indoor environment.","PeriodicalId":162507,"journal":{"name":"2015 20th European Conference on Networks and Optical Communications - (NOC)","volume":"431 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133003033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three cases involving two, three and five receivers are considered. A collaborative maximum ratio combining scheme is used to collaboratively distribute the transmit power among the diffusing spots. Our ultimate goal is to increase the received optical power and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at each coexisting receiver when the system operates in a multiuser scenario under the constraints of background noise, multipath dispersion, mobility and shadowing typical in a real indoor environment. Our proposed system (collaborative adaptive beam clustering method) is evaluated at 30 Mbit/s to enable comparison with previous work, and is also assessed at higher bit rates: 2.5 Gbit/s and 5 Gbit/s. Simulation results show that the mobile CABCM system offers a significant performance improvement including a reduction in the background noise (BN) effect, a strong received power, reduction in delay spread, and improvement in the SNR over multiuser line strip multibeam system (LSMS). However, the performance degrades gradually with increase in the number of users.","PeriodicalId":162507,"journal":{"name":"2015 20th European Conference on Networks and Optical Communications - (NOC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116010082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results suggest that based on the given power and 10-3 bit error rate, 30 meter proved to the furthest valid working distance and the influence of mobility on UV system is almost negligible within a certain speed range.

The scalability of the current host-oriented Internet model is one of these problems. In this paper, we present a novel service-oriented architecture dealing with the scalability problem leveraging the Path Computation Element (PCE) concept. PCE has already been proved as an efficient technology to decouple the control tasks from the forwarding nodes, what undoubtedly impacts on scalability growth. Given the importance of control solutions for IoT, we propose to enrich the current host-oriented PCE model to become a Service-oriented PCE (SPCE). Results obtained after running several evaluation tests show that the proposed PCE-based solution may support a higher number of Network Elements (NEs).","PeriodicalId":162507,"journal":{"name":"2015 20th European Conference on Networks and Optical Communications - (NOC)","volume":"1985 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128652194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
