Abstract
Visible light communications (VLC) use modern solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to
broadcast information. Emerging white-light LEDs allow the combination of lighting and optical
wireless communication in one optical source. In this paper, a new LED lighting design using
one-chip-type white LEDs is proposed for efficient illumination and optical wireless communications
under the existence of several obstacles. Lighting and communication performance are analyzed to
show the effectiveness of the proposed LED lighting. Specifically, the signal-to-noise ratio
considering intersymbol interference and the bit-error rate of variable pulse position modulation
(VPPM) with dimming control are considered.
