Abstract

This paper studies the performance of the reverse link adopting visible light communication at urban street environments. Firstly, the signal transmitting schemes are classified into two cases: only the head lamps are used or both the head lamps and the tail lamps are used; secondly, mathematical models corresponding the two different signal transmitting schemes for analyzing the performance of the reverse visible light communication link between a vehicle and the road side equipment are set up; thirdly, a method to improve the quality of the reverse visible light communication link is proposed; finally, three types of simulations are conducted to check the influence of receiver height and vehicle position on the link quality, respectively, and to check the validity of the proposed method.
