Indoor Visible Light Applications for Communication, Positioning, and Security
With the rapid development of smart cities, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in indoor lighting due to their characteristics of energy-saving, long lifetimes, and low cost. At the same time, the high-frequency modulated LEDs allow visible light to be used for indoor communications, positioning, and security. Visible light applications have many advantages, such as avoiding electromagnetic interference, high communication speed, great privacy, and high-precise positioning. In this paper, we will survey the application prospects and research results of visible light from scenarios such as high-speed communication, privacy security, and navigation localization and focus on analyzing and discussing the challenges and development trends encountered in visible light positioning.
