The use of LED-to-camera communication opens the door to a wide range of use cases and applications, with diverse requirements in terms of quality of service. However, while analytical models and simulation tools exist for all the major radio communication technologies, the only way of currently evaluating the performance of a network mechanism over LED-to-camera is to implement and test it. Our work aims to fill this gap by proposing a Markov–modulated Bernoulli process to model the wireless channel in LED-to-camera communications, which is shown to closely match experimental results. Based on this model, we develop and validate CamComSim, the first network simulator for LED-to-camera communications.

LED到摄像机的通信的使用为各种使用案例和应用打开了大门，这些应用在服务质量方面有不同的要求。然而，尽管所有主要无线电通信技术都具有分析模型和仿真工具，但当前评估LED到摄像机的网络机制性能的唯一方法是实施和测试它。我们的工作旨在通过提出一种马尔可夫调制的Bernoulli流程来弥补LED与相机之间的通信中的无线信道，从而填补这一空白，这与实验结果非常吻合。基于此模型，我们开发并验证了CamComSim，这是第一个用于LED到摄像机通信的网络模拟器。
