Abstract

We propose an underwater visible light communication (VLC) system for use in drones. The transmitter modulates a message using phase-shift keying (PSK) and emits the signal as LED fast-blinking light. The receiver captures this pattern with a CMOS image sensor using a rolling-shutter effect, and demodulates PSK. In existing VLC systems, rolling-shutter effect is used to transmit baseband signals; this system transmits a passband signal tolerant of low-frequency optical interference noise. System performance was evaluated in test-tank experiments. Findings suggested that the VLC system with PSK outperformed that using on-off keying when noise frequency did not exceed carrier frequency.
