Bi-Directional Visible Light Communication for Internet-of-Things devices
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional methods of wireless communications are saturating in terms of data rate, frequency spectrum and reliability. Visible light communications has attracted interests in many fields due to widespread commercial availability of LED lights and partly due to limited bandwidth available on the radio communication. It is even more effective for Internet-of-Things(IoT) devices which require very little bandwidth but still need to remain connected all the time. In this paper, I propose a method for implementing a bidirectional visible light communication system using commercially available LED lights and at the same time, try to achieve flicker free illumination. In this paper, I also go through the range of communication currently achieved with my developed setup with respect to the distance between transmitter and receiver.

Demonstration of bi-directional LED visible light communication using TDD traffic with mitigation of reflection interference.
In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a bi-directional transmission link using light emitting diode (LED) visible light communication (VLC) for both downlink and uplink paths. Time-division-duplex (TDD) is proposed and demonstrated to significantly eliminate the reflection interference in VLC. A free space bi-directional transmission of 2 m using simple on-off keying (OOK) modulation with...
متن کاملSpatial Interference Detection for Mobile Visible Light Communication
With the explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of devices to identify grew up exponentially in recent years and solutions such as visual markers or radio technologies are starting to show their limits. Visible light markers have been proposed to overcome these limitations. However, visible light communication (VLC) is very sensitive to interferences. As such, if two light marker...
