Abstract

Visible light communication (VLC) is a rising guaranteeing new innovation for optical wireless communication with taking part favorable circumstances not available on radio communication. Especially, as connectivity propagation, both across the world and via the Internet of Things. Any communication system is based on the LED light is luminous to verifying the connection. The major challenge in VLC is how to make a communication system to download data in the dark light when indoor lighting is not needed. This paper explains how visible light can be used to transmit data even when the light appears dark or off. We investigate VLC minimum illumination to receive power, to enable users to receive data when the light is “OFF”. This paper focuses on improving the system performance including signal to noise ratio, required power and bit error rate. VLC with different modulation schemes highlighting as the On–OFF Keying, Pulse Position Modulation, L-Pulse Position Modulation, and Inverse L-Pulse Position Modulation are investigated in the dark light for communication. A short part of Pulse Width Modulation is used for dimming illumination. The paper examines the selected parameters and essential requirements of VLC dark light system which are power, bandwidth efficiency and the dimming factor of light sources. We confirm that dark light is enough to keep up information paces of a few kbps. This looks good for the eventual fate of VLC for actualizing shrewd lighting systems.
