Directional Beam Based LED Deployment for a Short Range Indoor LED Light Communication System

Abstract

Abstract There is now an increasing awareness about the possibility of health hazards due to excessive electromagnetic radiations around us within the indoor environment. Hence, the alternative communication technologies such as indoor mobile communication system based on LED lighting are gaining more attention in the present scenario. The dual use of LEDs i. e. for illumination as well as for setting up of an indoor communication network infrastructure simultaneously makes it an attractive preposition. The LED lighting based communication system is qualified to be part of green technology networks. This paper investigates the optimal LED placement strategy for such a system to optimize the overall communication system parameters including the transmit power optimization. It is observed that the overall optimization of LEDs improve the signal to noise ratio and also a significant reduction in root mean square delay at lower semi-angle values besides improving the mobile coverage area.
