Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Abstract

This paper investigates experimentally the performance of optical spatial modulation (OSM) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) based visible light communication (VLC) system. Gallium nitride based micro light emitting diodes (μLEDs) are considered as a transmitter unit. A two transmitter and two optical receiver based MIMO setup is used. The performance of OSM-OFDM system is experimentally analysed by varying the semi-angle at half power, θ1/2 of the μLEDs. The optical cross-talk in the MIMO channel is quantified and its effect on the achievable data rate and bit error rate (BER) performance is analysed. The experimental results show that OSM-OFDM achieves higher data rates than single-input and single-output (SISO)-OFDM for all the ranges of θ1/2 of the μLEDs under study. However, the BER performance of OSM-OFDM is worse than in the case of SISO-OFDM. The maximum achievable data rate in OSM-OFDM is 1.34 Gb/s and 1.17 Gb/s in SISO-OFDM for θ1/2 of 2.27° at a link distance of 1 m using adaptive data loading. The experimental results also show that due to the strongly correlated channels, the system performance is highly dependent on the θ1/2 of the μLEDs.
