Mobility Analysis of Mobile VLC with Optical Zoom Antenna

Abstract

Abstract This paper specifically analyse the mobility performance in optical zoom receiving mobile VLC. Optical zoom antenna adjust the optical gain by changing the FOV and then effect the signal to noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. Firstly, with same transmit power, we analysis the communicable area between fixed focus VLC systems at different FOV. Besides, we contrast the mobility between fixed-focus and optical zoom VLC. Comparing with fixed focus VLC, the mobility can be increased by 90% with optical zoom receiving at 800Mbps. As data rate increasing, fixed focus system is completely disrupted, while the optical zoom antenna still ensure well mobility. According to these analysis, optical zoom antenna can guarantee a stable and high speed communication over a wide range in mobile VLC.
