Abstract:
This work aims to debunk the myth that visible light communication (VLC) systems can not work under the presence of sunlight. It provides an investigation of an outdoor VLC system model in the presence of sunlight irradiance. Worst-case scenarios are considered in terms of location, link orientation and choice of photodiode. The effect of sunlight irradiance is investigated in terms of data rate and bit error rate (BER) degradation. An optical bandpass blue filter is shown to compensate for half of the reduced data rate in the presence of sunlight. Reliable communications in the order of hundreds of Mb/s can be achieved using simple optical filtering under the effect of sunlight irradiance.
