“…Although different from what we expected, we consider that this is mainly due to the performances of the VLC receiver: (i) thus, the logarithmic transimpedance circuit is able to significantly reduce the influence of the ambient light, providing expanded dynamic range and preventing the photodiode saturation; (ii) the automatic gain control circuit is able to maintain a constant signal amplitude output, although its input signal varies significantly; (iii) the adaptive filters are optimally adjusted on the signal frequency; (iv) the decoding algorithm that is based on pulse width measurement allows for variations of the data signal period. Nevertheless, we still consider that the use of DSSS modulation is suitable for high priority data in low SNR conditions [35,36], the usage of OOK along with Manchester coding is suitable in medium SNR [5,24], whereas the Miller code could be an efficient solution in MIMO applications [33,34], based on previous experience and on the existing literature.…”

As the interest toward communication-based vehicle safety applications is increasing, the development of secure wireless communication techniques has become an important research area. In this context, the article addresses issues that are related to the use of the visible light communication (VLC) technology in vehicular applications. Thus, it provides an extensive presentation concerning the main challenges and issues that are associated to vehicular VLC applications and of some of the existing VLC solutions. Moreover, the article presents the aspects related to the design and intensive experimental evaluation of a new automotive VLC system. The experimental evaluation performed in indoor and outdoor conditions shows that the proposed system can achieve communication distances up to 50 m and bit error ratio (BER) lower than 10−6, while being exposed to optical and weather perturbations. This article provides important evidence concerning the snowfall effect on middle to long range outdoor VLC, as the proposed VLC system was also evaluated in snowfall conditions. Accordingly, the experimental evaluation showed that snowfall and heavy gust could increase bit error rate by up to 10,000 times. Even so, this article provides encouraging evidence that VLC systems will soon be able to reliably support V2X communications.

“…VLC solutions have been proposed in the literature for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications [188]. Using car lights, the 2019 Consumer Electronic Show presented an OWC system that enables intercommunication between vehicles [189] using OFDM modulation. In [190], Bachedergue et al evaluated the reliability of V2V VLC in real-world driving scenarios and compared the performances of OFDM and OOK modulations.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative technology marking the beginning of a new era where physical, biological, and digital worlds are integrated by connecting a plethora of uniquely identifiable smart objects. Although the Internet of terrestrial things (IoTT) has been at the center of our IoT perception, it has been recently extended to different environments, such as the Internet of underWater things (IoWT), the Internet of Biomedical things (IoBT), and Internet of un-derGround things (IoGT). Even though radio frequency (RF) based wireless networks are regarded as the default means of connectivity, they are not always the best option due to the limited spectrum, interference limitations caused by the everincreasing number of devices, and severe propagation loss in transmission mediums other than air. As a remedy, optical wireless communication (OWC) technologies can complement, replace, or co-exist with audio and radio wave-based wireless systems to improve overall network performance. To this aim, this paper reveals the full potential of OWC-based IoT networks by providing a top-down survey of four main IoT domains: IoTT, IoWT, IoBT, and IoGT. Each domain is covered by a dedicated and self-contained section that starts with a comparative analysis, explains how OWC can be hybridized with existing wireless technologies, points out potential OWC applications fitting best the related IoT domain, and discusses open communication and networking research problems. More importantly, instead of presenting a visionary OWC-IoT framework, the survey discloses that OWC-IoT has become a reality by emphasizing ongoing proof-of-concept prototyping efforts and available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) OWC-IoT products.

“…However, due to its ability to provide ultrahigh data rates and low latency, OWC can complement 6G in environments such as smart cities where reliable high-data-rate communication becomes a must. For example, OWC could be used to transmit data between vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure, including streetlights and traffic lights, enabling real-time communication and control of traffic flow of autonomous vehicles without using RF signals [112].…”

Sixth-generation (6G) mobile technology is currently under development, and is envisioned to fulfill the requirements of a fully connected world, providing ubiquitous wireless connectivity for diverse users and emerging applications. Transformative solutions are expected to drive the surge to accommodate a rapidly growing number of intelligent devices and services. In this regard, wireless local area networks (WLANs) have a major role to play in indoor spaces, from supporting explosive growth in high-bandwidth applications to massive sensor arrays with diverse network requirements. Sixth-generation technology is expected to have a superconvergence of networks, including WLANs, to support this growth in applications in multiple dimensions. To this end, this paper comprehensively reviews the latest developments in diverse WLAN technologies, including WiFi, visible light communication, and optical wireless communication networks, as well as their technical capabilities. This paper also discusses how well these emerging WLANs align with supporting 6G requirements. The analyses presented in the paper provide insight into the research opportunities that need to be investigated to overcome the challenges in integrating WLANs in a 6G ecosystem.
