14 Dimming Based Modulation Schemes
Variable On-Off Keying (VOOK) Variable Pulse Position Modulation (VPPM) Dimming is achieved by filling the non data portion of symbol with filler bits Maintains constant data rate Provides dimming by adjusting pulse width. Duty cycle is proportional to required dimming level Fig: VPPM symbols for bit β€˜0’ and bit β€˜1’ with (a) 60 % and (b) 20 % dimming Fig: VOOK symbols for (a) 90 %, (b) 70 %, (c) 30 % and (d) 10 % dimming 17-Apr-19 Visible Light Communication

15 Dimming Based Modulation Schemes
Multiple Pulse Position Modulation (MPPM) The transmitter sends optical pulses during any w out of n number of slots (1 ≀ w ≀ n) Number of symbols that can be transmitted for a given n and w is nCw For a fixed value of n, dimming can be achieved by varying w Overlapping Pulse Position Modulation (OPPM) Special case of MPPM where the transmitter sends optical pulses during w number of consecutive slots Number of symbols that can be transmitted for a given n and w is (n – w + 1) (a) (b) (c) Fig: Sample waveforms for (a) 4-PPM, (b) MPPM {n = 6, w = 3} and (c) OPPM {n = 6, w = 3} 17-Apr-19 Visible Light Communication
