Channel estimation is a key technology in indoor wireless visible light communications(VLCs).Using the training sequence(TS),this paper investigates the channel estimation in indoor wireless visible light communications.Based on the propagation and signal modulation characteristics of visible light,a link model for the indoor wireless visible light communications is established.Using the model,three channel estimation methods,i.e.,the correlation method,the least square(LS) method and the minimum mean square error(MMSE) method,are proposed.Moreover,the performances of the proposed three methods are evaluated by computer simulation.The results show that the performance of the correlation method is the worst,the LS method is suitable for higher signal to noise ratio(SNR),and the MMSE method obtains the best performance at the expense of highest complexity.
