Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this work, we propose a method to mitigate the interference caused by other light sources for OFDM based visible light communication systems. We consider two LED based light sources in the environment and assume only one of them is emitting information. When the second luminary is dimmed with pulse-width-modulation (PWM) method, the pulse transitions of the PWM signal emitted by the second luminary will disrupt the useful OFDM signal. The proposed interference mitigation technique can detect the pulse transition instances and recover the useful signal.
