Anti error and erasure coding for water-to-air visible light communication through wavy water surface with wave height up to 0.6 meters.

Considering large dynamic optical intensity range in a water-to-air (W2A) channel, we propose two promising channel coding schemes, namely the concatenated Reed Solomon-Low Density Parity Check (RS-LDPC) code and Raptor code, for W2A visible light communication (VLC). We establish a W2A-VLC link to verify the performance under different wavy water environments and different water depths with a green light emitting diode (LED). A wave generator is adopted to emulate the wavy water surface with wave height up to 0.
