Visible Light Communications for Localization, Sensing and IoT
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging and rapidly evolving technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission, offering a complementary solution to traditional radio-frequency systems. This Topic, entitled “Visible Light Communications for Localization, Sensing and IoT”, aims to explore the latest research and developments in the field of VLC by providing a platform for researchers and professionals to present their findings, discuss challenges, and outline future directions.
This Topic will present a broad spectrum of subjects within the VLC domain. We welcome contributions addressing theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects of VLC. Relevant areas include innovations in light sources, photodetectors, system architectures, and communication protocols, as well as applications such as indoor localization, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and Internet of Things (IoT) networks.
We aim to promote the practical deployment of VLC systems. By highlighting cutting-edge research and significant technological advancements, this Topic will offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of VLC and identify emerging research directions and potential market applications.
This Topic complements the existing literature by offering novel perspectives on the practical challenges and opportunities associated with VLC; it aims to delve deeper into the technical advancements and system integration strategies required for the broader adoption of this technology.
