Abstract

Light-emitting diode (LED)-optical communication is a novel spectrum communication with wide field of view (FOV), light weight, and long-distance free-space capabilities. Due to atmospheric turbulence attenuation and pointing errors caused by long-distance communication, this Letter proposes a multi-pixel channel joint maximum likelihood (JML) reception method using a highly sensitive silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). To evaluate the performance of the SiPM under mobile terminal jittering communication, we analyze the effect of optical transmitting power, pointing errors, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain on optical communication by comparing JML with signal channel using the maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm. Both simulation analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed JML algorithm to process signals received from SiPM multi-pixel channels can effectively mitigate the impact of pointing errors on the bit error rate (BER) of optical communications by two orders of magnitude at large jitter radians and SNR.
