- Abstract
- Scope of VLC standard Visible light communication VLC has the advantage that the emitting source of wireless communication uses LED light [1]. The standard for illumination has been developed covering connections between lamp and electronic power in terms of electric safety, as set out in IEC TC 34. The standard for visible light communication needs a number of protocols between the sending party and the receiving party, as given in PLASA E1.45 [2] and IEEE 802.15.7 [3]; as well as dealing with electric safety. We have to consider compatibilities even though the VLC service area, illumination, vendor, and standard are different. VLC service area compatibility Visible light communication services can be provided in different illumination space areas [12]. The area could be a lighting space for a museum, shopping mall, hallway, office, restaurant, etc. There are two VLC service styles. One is for a specific area, such as a company or organisation defined location in which proprietary equipment can be used. The other is a public area where in order to communicate the equipment must be compatible with communications standards. When we design for a specific area, we do not need any standard for VLC. Design of a specific VLC can be done easily without any constraints or limitations because the design is based on proprietory technology and not on a defined standard such as (4) in Fig. 6.1. This specific style VLC has the advantage of fast, cheap deployment at the first opening stage, but has the disadvantage of lacking VLC service area compatibility such as (2), (5), (6) in Fig. 6.1.
