“…A successful communication link was established over a distance of 3 m with a field of view of 30° . Quintana et al developed a low‐cost portable passenger data adapter containing IR transmitter and a photodiode to send and receive signals from a modified LED lamp containing an IR receiver, thus overcoming the shortcomings of Kavehrad et al Krichene et al proposed an aeronautical network architecture that was based on VLC using two different wavelength assignment methods. They also incorporated multiaccess system and all optical scheme based on free space optics .…”

Demand for bandwidth hungry applications and mobile services is pushing an unquenchable need for wireless capacity. Existing radio frequency networks are characterized by shared medium, inadequate spectrum, and restricted user capacity. Solid state lighting is modernizing indoor as well as outdoor illumination. The capability of quick switching of light emitting diode makes them superior to other lighting sources enabling simultaneous use as a communication and illumination device. Visible light communication (VLC) using light emitting diodes is an attractive approach for many networking scenarios and is considered as a complementary technology for future heterogeneous wireless networks. This article presents an architectural perspective on the applications and data rate improvement strategies. A wide range of VLC applications have been investigated, comparison has been drawn with radio frequency, and generalized network architecture is also proposed. Numerous applications of VLC are data rate intensive, so data rate improvement approaches have also been studied. At the end, a lucid conclusion is drawn about the applicability, acceptability, and utilization of VLC and co‐VLC–based systems.

“…Two solutions can be envisioned to fix this problem. The first one is to deploy communication capability in the reading lighting lamp of every passenger such as the system developed in [2]. Nevertheless, this approach will increase the needed number of the communicating LEDs and the inter-VLC cells interference.…”

“…Authors proved that blue filtering technique can provide higher speed communication with acceptable SNR and BER when combined with the adequate modulation and coding scheme. In [2], authors propose a full optical scheme for passenger connectivity within the aircraft. Their system uses the VLC as a downlink communication system while the infra-red mode is used as an uplink channel.…”

This paper proposes an aeronautical network architecture based on visible light communication (VLC) technology which targets the distribution of in-flight entertainment services. To this purpose, we investigate the deployment of LEDs within an aircraft cabin using two different wavelength assignment methods in the VLC cells. The first method combines both WDM and Direct sequence OCDMA techniques to reduce intra-cell and inter-cell interferences. In the second one, a two-dimensional OCDMA scheme is used to enable efficient sharing of resources between users. Moreover, an FSO-based inter-VLC-cells communication scheme is described to enable connectivity distribution among LEDs and inter-cells handover. This scheme is based on all-optical switching using code-words that uniquely identify the cells. Finally, a simulation work is conducted to evaluate the bit error rate of the proposed access control schemes for different configurations of the VLC system.

“…VLC application scenarios span from indoor communication [19], indoor localization [14,18,31], screen-camera communication [5,11,13,21], vehicular networks [20,4], underwater communication [26], to in-flight entertainment [24]. In particular, [20] is the first to build a VLC prototype for vehicular network and examine the networking properties in real outdoor systems.…”

We propose for the first time an integrated Visible Light Communication (iVLC) system, which combines scalable VLC networking and accurate VLC sensing of mobile users. To meet this goal, we envision using modulated LED lights for communications between networked devices, while at the same time using the very same lights to accurately identify and track users, and importantly, sense and infer their gestures (e.g., pointing to an object in the room) as a means of collecting user analytics and enabling interactions with objects in smart spaces. Enabling the iVLC vision requires reliable VLC networking and robust VLC sensing. We discuss the key research components and open challenges in realizing this vision. By combining VLC networking and sensing, iVLC opens the way for a new class of contextaware applications and a new HCI paradigm not possible before.
