Abstract
White LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging technology that is being researched so it can eventually be used for common communications systems. LEDs have a number of advantages, one of which is long life expectancy. However, like many emerging technologies, VLC has many technical issues that need to be addressed. We proposed an optical indoor wireless communication system that used white LEDs like plug-in devices. We developed a practical implementation of VLC and demonstrated it experimentally. In particular we focused on designing a prototype of VLC that can be used without having to make major changes to the present infrastructure with two types of protocol — namely RS-232 and USB — for data transmission.
