In this paper, we design linear precoders for the downlink of a visible light communication (VLC) system that simultaneously serves multiple users. Instead of using phosphor-coated white light-emitting diodes (PWLEDs), we focus on Red-Green-Blue light-emitting diodes (RGB-LEDs) that allow modulating three separate data streams on the three primary colors of the RGB-LEDs. For this system, we design a zero-forcing (ZF) precoder that maximizes the weighted sum rate for a multilevel pulse amplitude modulation (M-PAM). The precoding design in RGB-based systems presents some challenges due to the system constraints, such as the limited power, the non-negative amplitude constraints per light-emitting diode (LED), and the need to guarantee white light emission while transmitting with RGB-LEDs. For comparison purposes, we also consider the ZF design for a PWLED-based system and evaluate the performance of both a PWLED- and an RGB-based system.

Recently, mobile cloud computing (MCC) has gained a lot of interest for researchers building the next-generation mobile applications. Because unauthorized access may cause serious problems, security and privacy with MCC have become significant issues. This paper addresses the secrecy dimming capacity of secure transmission in MCC over visible light communication (VLC) channels. By obtaining the entropy-maximizing symbol probability of multiple light emitting diode- (LED-) based pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), mathematical analysis of the secrecy dimming capacity of VLC was derived. Simulation results show that the secure transmission ability of multi-LED-based VLC is determined according to the number of activated LEDs and target dimming level. This can be a guideline for practical VLC-based mobile network designers intending to secure wireless transmission and to decide on the number of activated LEDs at target dimming level to operate.

ABSTRAKPerkembangan teknologi telah menunjukkan peningkatan yang cukup signifikan, terutama untuk bidang komunikasi. Hal ini terbukti dengan banyaknya media komunikasi baik itu nirkabel dan kabel. Pada penelitian ini dimanfaatkan cahaya tampak sebagai media dalam sistem komunikasi, dimana selama ini cahaya hanya digunakan sebagai penerangan saja. Visible Light Communication (VLC) adalah sebuah teknologi komunikasi yang memanfaatkan pancaran cahaya tampak dari lampu pada sistem komunikasi. Sistem komunikasi visible light ini terdiri dari pemancar dan penerima. Pemancar terdiri dari Light Emitting Dioda, audio transformator dan baterai, dan pada penerima terdiri dari solar cell dan photodioda, amplifier dan catu daya. Hal-hal yang dapat mempengaruhi hasil output sistem komunikasi adalah jarak, terang cahaya lampu pemancar dan cahaya luar. Pada penelitian ini, komunikasi menggunakan VLC dapat dilakukan pada jarak pengiriman data sebesar 2,5 m dan dengan range frekuensi 600 Hz sampai dengan 45 kHz dimana data dapat disalurkan dengan baik.Kata kunci: Visible light, Sistem komunikasi, Light Emitting Dioda, solar cell, photodioda.ABSTRACTTechnological developments have shown a significant increase, especially in the field of communication. This is proved by the many communications media using both wireless and wired. This study utilized the visible light as a medium of communication system, which has been used as an illumination light only. Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a communication technology which utilize visible light emitted from the lamp in the communication system. The visible light communication system consists of a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter consists of a Light Emitting Diode, audio transformer and battery, and the receiver consists of a solar cell and a photodiode, amplifier and power supply. Things that can affect the output of the communication system is the distance, bright light and outdoor light. In the research, the results that obtained from this study is the data transmission distance of 2.5 m and a frequency range of 600 Hz to 45 kHz data can be routed properly.Keywords:  Visible light, Communication systems, Light Emitting Dioda, solar cell, photodioda.
