Square-Wave Spatial Optical Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Visible light communication (VLC) systems leverage illumination devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), to serve a dual role as indoor high-speed communication downlinks. Though high data rates are possible using orthogonal frequency-division (OFDM) in VLC systems, the impact on the complexity and luminous efficacy of the luminaire remain among the key challenges. In this paper, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">square-wave spatial optical OFDM</i> (SW-SO-OFDM) is proposed which transmits an OFDM signal using <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$G$</tex-math></inline-formula> square-wave subcarriers from <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$G$</tex-math></inline-formula> LED groups and allowing them to sum in space. Using a binary-level square-wave carrier signal eliminates the need for digital-to-analog conversion, non-linear pre-distortion hardware and the transmitter inverse Fourier transform, thereby greatly reducing the complexity of the transmitter in the luminaire. Further, by coordinating the binary transmissions from pairs of LED groups, SW-SO-OFDM can transmit multi-level constellations, which further improves the bandwidth efficiency. Through simulation and experiment, SW-SO-OFDM is shown to provide communication performance comparable to SO-OFDM and to significantly outperform conventional DC-biased (DCO)-OFDM at high signal-to-noise ratios, while considerably reducing the overall transmitter complexity in the luminaire.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
