The ADE technique reduces noise by taking advantage of the fact that the derivative between adjacent sampling points of signal with digital waveform is very different from that of noise with the random analog waveform. Furthermore, a weighting function that reflects the Poisson characteristics of shot noise is applied to the ADE technique in order to maximize the reduction efficiency of ambient noise. The signal-to-noise ratio of input non-return-to-zero-on\u2013off keying (NRZ-OOK) signal is improved by 7.5 dB at the first-generation forward error correction (FEC) threshold (the bit error rate (BER) of 8 \u00d7 10\u22125) using the optical wireless experimental link. In addition, it is confirmed that it is possible to maintain the transmission performance corresponding to the BER of 1 \u00d7 10\u22125 by using the proposed ADE technique, even when the intensity of the ambient light source increases by 6 dB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21041060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]],"date-time":"2021-02-04T21:29:27Z","timestamp":1612474167000},"page":"1060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Ambient LED Light Noise Reduction Using Adaptive Differential Equalization in Li-Fi Wireless Link"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Yong-Yuk","family":"Won","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Myongji University, 116 Myongji-ro, Cheoin-gu, Yongin 17058, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sang Min","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science, Kookmin University, 77 Jeongneung-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02707, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7798-7040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongsun","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Myongji University, 116 Myongji-ro, Cheoin-gu, Yongin 17058, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1201","DOI":"10.1109\/JSAC.2017.2692307","article-title":"5G: A Tutorial Overview of Standards, Trials, Challenges, Deployment, and Practice","volume":"35","author":"Shafi","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE J.
