LED-Based Visible Light Communications

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

Speed is an important indicator of a communication system, and providing high-speed wireless access is also a significant advantage of visible light communication. At present, the transmission rate of Wi-fi is about 100 Mbit/s, and the power line communication is basically at this rate and even lower. Compared with traditional wireless access technology, visible light communication can realize more high-speed wireless access due to its potentially huge bandwidth.
