Descripción
Sumario:[EN] This paper presents an asymmetric full-duplex solution based on visible light communications (VLC) for indoor wired and wireless hybrid signal transmission. The signal is distributed by a polymer optical fiber (POF) link and passively radiated. The proposed system includes two VLC links: a low-speed downlink and a high-speed uplink using an image sensor (IS) and photodiode detection (PD) based receivers. PD-based system communication performance is evaluated by means of error vector magnitude (EVM) for different modulation orders quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16- and 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), while the IS-based system is characterized in terms of the success of reception (SoR). High-speed data transmission up to 160 Mbps with a 16-QAM modulation scheme and low-speed data transmission up to 500 bps with 98.6% of SoR using a non-return zero on¿off keying (NRZ-OOK) scheme over a 1.5 m optical wireless link are demonstrated. Finally, simulations of the wireless channel are performed to evaluate the misalignment tolerance of the system; and, to estimate the uplink performance at longer distances.
