Analog m-CAP demodulation for VLC-based IoT systems

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Future IoT systems will require progressively smaller sizes, cost, complexity and power consumption. This paper proposes a new architecture using a hybrid m-CAP/QAM system with the goal to provide such features to future VLC based IoT devices. The proposed system architecture uses a ceiling LED light fixture implementing an m-CAP digital modulator, connected to several IoT devices, implemented by analog de modulators. The simulated performance presents an increase on BER when compared to a digital m-CAP receiver, between 1 and 2 dB. Nevertheless, considering IoT scenarios, having low cost/size/power devices can surpass the performance penalty.
