DOI 10.1109/icaict.2016.7991759
Data confidence 85 high
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 paper, we investigate the performance of a direct current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) based adaptive transmission in the context of visible light communication (VLC). We consider the reference channel model (Scenario I) of IEEE 802.15.7r1 where an indoor office room is considered and channel impulse responses are presented for 24 different points. Our results reveal that high data rates such as 100 Mbps can be achieved with the choice of optimal modulation order according to channel conditions, while non-adaptive transmission based on the worst-case design provides only 14 Mbps under the consideration of target bit-error-rate (BER) of 10-3.
