Abstract
The ever-increasing streaming culture of large amounts of data and the need for faster and reliable methods of data transfer has created a space and market for new communication technologies such as Visible Light Communication (VLC). However, the integration of VLC into next generation networks is challenging due to the drawbacks of the technology in terms of atmospheric absorption, shadowing, beam dispersion, etc. One way to overcome some of the challenges is to make use of the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technique which involves the transmission of data in parallel from multiple sources, increasing the data rate. This paper implements and provides a comprehensive evaluation of a MIMO-VLC system for data transmission. A real experimental test-bed is setup to test the performance of the MIMO-VLC system under various conditions such as distance from the source based on luminous flux, ambient lighting, output power, etc. Additionally, subjective tests are carried out to assess the quality of an audio MIMO VLC link as perceived by the user. The results are compared with the results of a Single Input Single Output (SISO)-VLC system.
