A review: Outdoor visible light communication on modulation and receiver denoising scheme.

A rapid growth of wireless communication system has boosted the exponential development on smart technology while driving a substantial increase in traffic volume. With a highly congested and demand on RF bandwidth spectrum, Visible Light Communication (VLC) seem as a complementary technology towards RF based system which provide wider bandwidth, free and unregulated channel, poses no health hazard, high security and low power consumption leads VLC to be one of the promising technology in data transmission. By maintaining the main purpose of illumination, the exploitation on the existing LED-based lighting system is used as a transmission mechanism to photodetector or image sensor which is used to detect the variations of the light intensity via free space optical channels. Different VLC modulation schemes is review in this paper to see the pros and cons of each scheme implemented in outdoor application specifically for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) VLC system. Various type of noises is presented in this paper with the denoising scheme to eliminate or reduce the shot and thermal noise caused by natural sunlight and artificial roadside infrastructure light which degrades the performance of VLC system.
