Description
Summary:The increasing demand of mobile internet and Internet of Things poses challenging requirements for indoor wireless communication. Visible light communication (VLC) is a promising technology to alleviate the growing traffic problem. In addition, nonlinear distortion of light emitting diodes (LEDs) results in a poor link quality. In this paper, we propose multiple access with polarity division sparse code (PDSC) for VLC, which is based on nonorthogonal multiple access and spatial characteristic of LEDs. The experimental results indicate that the PDSC significantly enhances capacity and spectral efficiency of VLC network compared with orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We also demonstrate that the PDSC can optimize the problem of nonlinear distortion with polarity division. The experimental results reveal that PDSC is a promising multiple access scheme for the indoor VLC networks.
