VLC introduction VLC (Visible Light Communication) : New communication technology using Visible Light. Visible Light : Wavelength between ~400nm (750THz) and ~700nm (428THz) General Characteristic Visibility : Aesthetically pleasing Security : What You See Is What You Send. Health : Harmless for human body Unregulated : no regulation in optical frequency Using in the restricted area : aircraft, spaceship, hospital Eye safety Slide 4
VLC motivation Communication community trend Ubiquitous (Connect each other everywhere, every time) Security LED trend LED technology (efficiency, brightness) LED Cost Environmental trend Health Energy saving Intrinsic characteristic of VLC Visibility No interference / No regulation Slide 5
VLC vs. RF Characteristic Property VLC RF Bandwidth Unlimited, 400nm~700nm Regulatory, BW Limited EMI No High Line of Sight (LOS) Yes No Standard Beginning (IG-VLC) Matured Hazard No Yes Mobile To Mobile Visibility (Security) Power Consumption Distance Yes Relatively low Short No Medium Medium Visibility (Security) Yes No Infra to Mobile Infra Mobility LED Illumination Limited Access Point Yes Coverage Narrow Wide Slide 6
