In this paper, we experimentally investigate the effect of using different lens combinations on vehicular VLC systems in outdoor environments. First, we measure the effective channel coefficient which includes the effect of both front-ends and propagation channel. Then, based on the estimated channel coefficients, we characterize the vehicular system performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and quantify improvements from utilizing different lens combinations.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject10.1109/CSNDSP49049.2020.9249597Visible light communicationVehicular communicationExperimental verification2-s2.0-85097643704
