    Experimental Evaluation of OFDM-Based Underwater Visible Light Communication System
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Hessien, Salah; Tokgöz, Sezer Can; Anous, Noha; Boyacı, Ali; Abdallah, Mohamed; Qaraqe, Khalid A.
    High-speed, reliable, flexible, and cost-effective underwater wireless communication systems have a wide variety of use in scientific, civilian, and commercial domains. Visible light communication (VLC) seems to be a promising candidate in satisfying majority of the requirements listed above. From this perspective, VLC could easily be deployed in heterogeneous wireless networking scenarios with high quality of service. Therefore, in this paper, an adapted LTE frame structure is implemented for underwater VLC (UVLC) system. The performance of UVLC system employing asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation technique is practically tested by taking channel estimation and synchronization into account. Also, the effects of varying orthogonal frequency division multiplexing parameters on the system's signal-to-noise ratio and the bit-error-rate (BER) performances are studied. The implementation is tested for quadrature phase shift keying and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation techniques supporting both 128-and 1024-points fast Fourier transform configurations, which correspond to data rates of 1.92 and 15.36 Mbps, respectively. Experimental results show that BER could be reduced down to a level on the order of 10-6. © 2009-2012 IEEE.

    Performance Evaluation of White LED-based OFDM-VLC Systems with Blue Filters: Experimental Study
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Tokgöz, Sezer Can; Anous, Noha; Yarkan, Serkan; Boyacı, Ali; Qaraqe, Khalid A.
    This paper experimentally evaluates the performance of visible light communications (VLC) systems employing phosphor-coated white light emitting diodes (LEDs). Phosphor-coated white LEDs though widely used commercially, are known to limit the system's maximum data rate. Such a limitation is conventionally treated by two methods: either adding a blue filter at the receiver or using orthogonal frequency multiplexing (OFDM) digital modulation technique. Adding a blue filter at the receiver is controversial in current literature and claimed to decrease the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) or to be inefficient if OFDM is employed. Hence, in this work, we experimentally evaluate the above OFDM based VLC system with and without a blue filter. Results are compared to prove that adding a blue filter at the receiver boosts SNR and bit-error-rate (BER) values. This, in turn, helps maximize the data rates supported by such systems. The addition of a blue filter is tested with different modulation techniques. Results in this work remove the controversy around employing a blue filter in OFDM based VLC systems with phosphor-coated white LEDs. Improved BERs and SNRs at high data rates are observed. Specifically, this experimental work demonstrates a BER enhancement of ?40% and ?15% for data rates up to 12 Mbps when a blue filter is added. © 2019 IEEE.

    Performance improvement of white led-based vlc systems using blue and flattening filters
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Tokgöz, Sezer Can; Anous, Noha; Yarkan, Serkan; Khalil D.; Qaraqe, Khalid A.
    This paper proposes a means to maximize the data rate supported by a visible light communication (VLC) system. The investigated VLC system uses phosphor-coated white light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are common in existing illumination systems but are also known to limit the communication system's data rate. In this paper, we propose a remedy to such a limitation by adding a response-flattening filter at the receiver's end to mitigate the effect of the slow yellow phosphor spectral component. An experimental study is conducted to evaluate the validity of the proposed remedy. The resulting performance is compared with an existing remedy that involves adding a blue filter at the receiver. Off-the-shelf commercial filters are used in the experiment. Enhanced bit-error-rates (BERs) and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) at high data rates are observed. Specifically, our experimental work demonstrates that BER is enhanced by 40% and 15% for data rates up to 12 Mbps when responseflattenina filter and blue filter are adopted, respectively. © 2019 IEEE.
