초록

LED 조명을 활용한 통신인 가시광통신 기술은 IEEE 802.15.7 WG에 의해 정의되었고 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 가시광통신은 기존 RF 통신과의 간섭을 회피할 수 있는 장점 뿐 아니라, LOS(Line of Sight) 특성을 활용하여 정확한 측위를 통한 위치기반 서비스를 제공할 수 있어 사용자의 위치를 확인하고 추적하는데 매우 용이하다. 본 논문에서는 LED 조명을 이용한 위치측정에 휴대기기를 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록, UBS 인터페이스를 이용한 가시광통신 송수신기를 구현하였다. 인터넷 프로토콜을 통해 휴대기기의 이동성을 지원했으며 보행 중 조명과 스마트 기기의 높이인 1m 이상에서 $10^{-3}dBm$이하의 BER 성능을 보였다.

Visible light communication technology, which is a communication using LED lighting, is defined by IEEE 802.15.7 WG and active research is under way. Visible light communication is advantageous not only to avoid interference with existing RF communication but also to provide location based service through accurate positioning by utilizing LOS (Line of Sight) characteristic. Therefore, it is very easy and efficient to locate and track the user's location. In this paper, we implemented a visible light communication transceiver using USB interface for easy application to portable devices. It supports the mobility of mobile devices through internet protocol and showed BER performance of less than $10^{-3}dBm$ at over 1m, which is the height of lighting and smart device during walking.
