研究目的
To develop a coding scheme called SeedLight that enhances the reliability and goodput of line-of-sight LED-to-camera communication for IoT devices by addressing the constrained PHY-SDU length and packet losses, using random linear coding with low computational overhead.
研究成果
SeedLight effectively improves the goodput of LED-to-camera communication by up to 100% compared to trivial retransmission schemes, with negligible overhead and low computational cost. It is feasible for implementation on low-cost IoT devices, enhancing reliability in line-of-sight scenarios. Future work should focus on optimizing decoding algorithms and extending the scheme to non-line-of-sight channels.
研究不足
The coding scheme is optimized for small PHY-SDU sizes (tens of bits) and may not scale well to larger messages due to increased computational complexity. The experiments are conducted in controlled indoor environments with specific smartphones and MCUs, limiting generalizability to other devices or outdoor conditions. The decoding complexity on the receiver side (smartphone) requires efficient implementation to avoid performance bottlenecks, and further optimizations (e.g., C libraries) are needed for real-time processing.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involves designing and implementing the SeedLight coding scheme based on pseudo-random linear coding (PRLC) to reduce overhead and complexity. It uses Galois Field GF(256) for coding operations, with a focus on low-cost microcontrollers (MCUs) and smartphones. The methodology includes encoding messages into chunks using a seed from a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) and decoding via Gaussian elimination.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The testbed uses a low-cost STM32L051 MCU as the emitter and an LG Nexus 5 smartphone as the receiver. Messages of sizes 100B and 400B are transmitted under standard indoor illumination conditions (650 lux).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes an STM32L051 MCU, LG Nexus 5 smartphone, Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone, color LED, printed circuit board, and luxmeter for illuminance measurement. Materials involve software implementations for encoding and decoding on the MCUs and smartphones.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The emitter modulates the LED using OOK modulation at 8KHz symbol rate with Manchester coding. The smartphone camera captures frames at 30 fps, and the Android application decodes the rolling shutter effect. Experiments vary parameters such as seed length, generation size, distance between emitter and receiver, and PHY-SDU size (24 to 128 bits). Data on packet loss, goodput, and computation times are collected.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data is analyzed to compute goodput, throughput, packet error probability, and computation times. Statistical comparisons are made between SeedLight and a trivial retransmission scheme, using plots and benchmarks from the implementations.
