This post discovers the difference between 2D ACO-OFDM and 2D DCO-OFDM from implementation perspective. The Simulation Package allows us to test all the performance without any hardware configuration needed. Besides the simulation package (package 1), optical link package (package 2) and optimal optical link package (package 3) are within the 2D-OFDM Code packages. 2D Mapping … Continue reading Compare 2D ACO-OFDM vs 2D DCO-OFDM

Implementation of HA-QL Code
HA-QL (Hidden Asynchronous Quick-Link) is a hidden modulation mode among Screen-2-Camera operating modes within the IEEE 802.15.7-2018 Optical Wireless Communication standard. An interesting feature of HA-QL is that it allows for controlling the peak-to-peak amplitude of the intensity modulation, from a visible code to a hidden code. The HA-QL Code Project is cleaned, well-packed and documented. Technical … Continue reading Implementation of HA-QL Code
(PPT) BER measurement of A-QL
A-QL stands for Asynchronous Quick Link, a two-dimensional multi-band color code sequential transmission protocol from a screen to camera. The A-QL is one of mode within the IEEE 802.15.7-2018 Optical Wireless Communication standard. For your convenience, we have measured the BER performance of A-QL code. The results showed that A-QL can support the transmission distance of 4.5m with the wide … Continue reading (PPT) BER measurement of A-QL

Our 2D-OFDM implementation is mature by the employment of MIMO sub-transmitters within a single TX, each sub-transmitter is an independent 2D-multi-carrier modulator. For your convenience, the generation of 2D-OFDM is summarized in the following PPT file. Please download the file for your reference. Generation of 2D-OFDM (PPT file)Download
FREE Software to measure the sampling rate of rolling shutter cameras!
I remember that some of my colleagues had really tough time figuring out what is the sampling rate of a rolling shutter camera since camera producers never ever shown the value! We are not talking about the frame rate of camera if you are missing understanding. The reason was quite understandable, because the sampling rate … Continue reading FREE Software to measure the sampling rate of rolling shutter cameras!
FEC: Generation of Reed-Solomon and Convolutional Code
Reed Solomon and Convolutional Code are chosen for IEEE 802.15.7-2011 and IEEE 802.15.7m implementation. In this post, we will review the generation of the codes and simulate their performance for comparison. Reed Solomon Systematic RS codes are used for FEC (typically outer FEC) with GF(16), generated by the polynomial x4+x+1. The generators for the RS(n, … Continue reading FEC: Generation of Reed-Solomon and Convolutional Code
