This paper proposes a low-complexity and energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED)-to-LED communication system for Internet of Things (IoT) devices with data rates up to 200 kbps over an error-free transmission distance up to 7 cm. The system is based on off-the-shelf red-green-blue (RGB) LEDs, of which the red sub-LED is employed as photodetector in photovoltaic mode while the green sub-LED is the transmitter. The LED photodetector is characterized in the terms of its noise characteristics and its response to the light intensity. The system performance is then analysed in terms of bandwidth, bit error rate (BER) and the signal to noise ratio (SNR). A matched filter is proposed, which optimises the performance and increases the error-free distance.
本文提出了一种用于物联网(IoT)设备的低复杂度且节能的发光二极管(LED)到LED通信系统,该系统在高达7厘米的无差错传输距离上的数据速率可达200 kbps。该系统基于现成的红绿蓝(RGB)LED,其中红色子LED在光伏模式下用作光电探测器,而绿色子LED为发射器。对LED光电探测器的噪声特性及其对光强度的响应进行了表征。然后从带宽、误码率(BER)和信噪比(SNR)方面分析了系统性能。提出了一种匹配滤波器,其优化了性能并增加了无差错距离。
