Abstract

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.
