Abstract
Visible light communication (VLC) is considered as a promising technique for the wireless technology of the 21st century. Utilizing Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology adds a wide area of applications for VLC. Most important one is that VLC can provide illumination/communication jointly. To achieve efficient commercial VLC communication/illumination system one needs to profit from dimming schemes/flicker. Availability of suitable system designs and enhancing system's power requirements are key advantages for using dimming schemes. Effective dimming schemes/flicker are mainly achieved through several VLC based on modulation techniques. In last few years many kinds of literature discussed independently wide range of modulation schemes to address the effectively previous issue. However, few surveys for these works are presented in the field. This paper provides an in-depth survey of VLC based dimming scheme. Therefore, the kinds of modulation and coding techniques are collected and categorized of more than 60 papers extending from pioneering papers to the state of the art in the field. In addition, research and current issues are discussed especially in which trends in VLC based dimming/flicker.
