Lambertian Luminous Intensity Radiation Pattern Analysis in OLOS Indoor Propagation for Better Connectivity

Abstract

This paper illustrates the impact of wavelength on the Optical Line of sight (OLOS) link working in the Visible Light Communication (VLC) spectrum. The extension of work is based on previous outcomes given by researchers. It has been elaborated with different determinants based on the color factor of LED available in the Visible Light (VL) spectrum. In the modern world, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are prevailing the market as a light source, which is dominantly used at homes and workplaces. The designed VLC system includes LED as a transmitter, which is used as a higher source of brightness and provides both illuminations and data communication. Solid-state lighting characteristic shows the electroluminance capability of high brightness LEDs. Within few years, the luminous efficacy of LED is exponentially increasing from the range of less than 0.1 lm/W to over 230 lm/W with a huge lifetime of around 100,000 h. MATLAB is used to simulate a VLC link between LEDs (operated at different wavelengths) and photodetector. We present here the performance analysis of Lambertian Luminous Intensity radiation pattern (LLIRP) generated by different colors of LED for a clear OLOS model with different Spectral Luminous Efficiency at photonic vision. A designed system model of VLC supports short links present in indoor room conditions with better connectivity.

“…In this section, we present a comprehensive analysis of the optical power distribution [31]- [33] and noise distribution [34]- [36] about the line-of-sight (LOS) link within the NICU area. Realistic channel modeling and characterization are essential to ensure high quality-of-service (QoS) in communication systems.…”
