This paper evaluates the practically achievable best error performance obtained from a dimmable visible light communication (VLC) system that conveys information using binary modulations, such as on-off keying (OOK). As compared to previous studies that address the ideal performance of dimmable VLC systems only over reliable channels with arbitrarily small error probability, this paper presents the best achievable error probability of various configurations with the dimming targets, signal quality, and data rate. The numerical results establish the ultimate decoding error performance targeted for dimmable VLC systems and are expected to provide a practical guideline for the enhanced VLC system design.

二进制可调光可见光通信系统的误码率性能

本文评估了从可调光可见光通信 (VLC) 系统获得的实际可实现的最佳误差性能，该系统使用二进制调制（例如开关键控 (OOK)）传送信息。与之前的研究相比，仅在具有任意小错误概率的可靠信道上解决可调光 VLC 系统的理想性能，本文提出了具有调光目标、信号质量和数据速率的各种配置的最佳可实现错误概率。数值结果确定了针对可调光 VLC 系统的最终解码错误性能，并有望为增强型 VLC 系统设计提供实用指南。
