To enhance commercial implementation, visible light communication (VLC) should facilitate dimming control and reliable data transmission simultaneously, where users can adjust the brightness levels arbitrarily. Constant weight code (CWC) based dimming method can achieve higher spectral efficiency, but the codewords need further selection to exponentially map the massage. In this paper, based on CWC, we proposed a method to achieve dimming control as well as improve error performance via optimizing the average Hamming distance of the codeword set. Simulation results show that the optimal codeword set can achieve better error performance.

Visible light communication (VLC) has attracted tremendous attention due to two functions: communication and illumination. Both reliable data transmission and lighting quality need to be considered when the transmitted signal is designed. To achieve the desired levels of illumination, dimming control is an essential technology applied in VLC systems. In this paper, we propose a block coding-based dimming scheme to construct the codeword set, where dimming control can be achieved by changing the ratio of two levels (ON and OFF) based on on-off keying (OOK) modulation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can maintain good error performance with constant transmission efficiency under various dimming levels.

This work enhances the bit rate characteristics, receiver sensitivity and power requirements of multicarrier modulation schemes (MCM) for visible light communication (VLC) dimming control system at bit error rate (BER) less than 10-3. This study develops the mathematical formulation for merging pulse position modulation (PPM) and overlapping pulse position modulation (OPPM) with M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation DC-Biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (M-QAM DCO OFDM), which can achieve efficient data transmission while maintaining communication quality. These schemes are then compared with the conventional merging (i.e M-QAM DCO OFDM with pulse width modulation (PWM)). Relating to the recent advances in the field, the additional comparative study is established with the latest merging platform (i.e. M-QAM DCO OFDM with multiple pulse position modulation (MPPM)).
