An Experiment on Delay-tolerant MIMO Visible Light Communication System

Abstract In visible light communication (VLC) system with MIMO transmission, a practical problem exists - timing misalignment between multiple transmitters. In this paper, we propose three MIMO transmission and equalization schemes for VLC system which could cope with the problem of time delay between multiple transmitters. These schemes are verified and compared in computer simulation as well as in hardware experiments.
