In recent years there is growing research in optical wireless communication. This growing popularity isdue to several characteristics like such as large bandwidth that is also not having spectrum regulationsimposed, low cost and license-free operation. Since visible light communications (VLC) is a branch ofoptical wave communications (OWC), it is used for replacing RF communications. The other primaryreason for the use of visible light communications [1], because it uses 400 THz of unlicensed secure andradio free media for wireless communications which are 1000 times more than that of radiocommunications. For transmission of VLC, we use LED as light sources.Due to the high efficiency and less power consumption LED have replaced the oldfluorescence lamps, LED provide the dual functionality they can provide lighting and can providecommunications (transfer of data) just like Wi-Fi. In LED the on and off state is so fast that the humaneye can’t even perceive it. The on and off state can be taken as 1 and 0’s and through this we can transferthe data, this type of modulation is called OOK keying modulation it is used for single carrier modulationscheme. We can interpret the data that is received from the transceiver side with the help of thephotodiode at the receiver’s side. This communication technique can provide better security as there is nointerference, as light can't penetrate through walls leaving the data transfer to the room itself. ThroughVLC we can offer better security to data over RF communications.In this thesis, the implementation process has been performed in MATLABsimulations where we analyse different modulation techniques and parameters. We design a room withdimensions as 5m*5m*3m as length, width and height. We take multiple LED’s at the top and determinethe illumination parameters in the room due to the light emitted from the LED. The receiver is located ona desk and we calculate the number of data rates received at the receiver. The modulation techniques usedin this thesis are OOK keying modulation. We estimate the data rates in two methodologies directdetection (Line of sight) and also, we take reflections from the wall into consideration (Non-line of sight).The effect of data rates due to illumination and distance are also determined. In this thesis we transfer dataover the transmitter and receive the information at the receiver for obtained information the calculation of bit error rate (BER) is performed for both single LED and multiple LED array. The analysis is performed between the performance metrics of a single LED’s and multiple LED’s arrays to determine better-LEDarray.Key Words: OOK modulation scheme, MATLAB-Simulation, Light Emitting Diodes .
