Abstract

Indoor visible light positioning becomes attractive due to the increasing demands of location-based services. In this paper, we presented a model of an indoor positioning system based on visible light communication technology firstly. The system uses white light emitting diodes (LED) as light sources, so it has the dual role of communication and lighting. Then, the transmitter and receiver of visible light communication in the system have been designed and realized. Next, a coding protocol was designed and implemented, which can be used to transmit ID of each light source. Finally, the error performance in experiments of the proposed system is analyzed and several suggestions on future research of indoor positioning based on visible light communication were given.
