Abstract

Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an up-to-date issue where Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used for lighting and data transmission. Although interest in Visible Light Communication has increased in current academic studies, the devices ready for commercial use are still lacking. In this study, a visible light communication system designed to work in Layer 1 of the IEEE 802.15.7-2011 standard is presented and its performance under different conditions is investigated. The system design is based on an embedded Linux platform, where a LED is used in the transmitter and another LED is used in the receiver. Application, TCP/IP, and Data Link Layer functions required for communication in the structure are implemented with software. Payload and distance variables were tested for performance evaluation in the PHY layer on VLC. The effect of variables on the performance of VLC has been analyzed.
