Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple visible light communication system by combining an adaptive transmission technique with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. In the adaptive transmission scheme, power allocation is performed in such a way as to maximize the channel capacity under electric power constraints, and adaptive modulation is then introduced to achieve the maximum data rate given a target bit error rate. Experimental results show that spectrum efficiency can be greatly improved through this adaptive transmission technique.
