Abstract

In this paper, we propose the analysis of other lighting sources´ interferences for indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) according to receiver´s position, Field-Of-View (FOV) and presence of a wall reflecting light interference. Depending on the Line of Sight (LOS) characteristics of VLC receiver, we can guess that PD with small FOV may show better performance. However, simulation results say that there is the range of FOV that shows the best performance if we consider the alignment of the transmitter and receiver.
