In this paper, a novel bidirectional underwater visible light communication (BiUVLC) is proposed. The VLC transmitter transmits an information signal using the one of RGB LED through the water tank that represents an underwater environment and then is received by VLC receiver via a color filter. The color LEDs and color filters are utilized in bidirectional systems. The single link is created by a LED on the transmitter and the color filter on the receiver with the same color which represents a single wavelength. The performance of the proposed BiUVLC system was evaluated via implementations. The experimental result shows that the transmitted signal undergoes attenuation over the underwater optical channel and the pair of the blue wavelength in link 1 and the green wavelength in link 2 have the best performance than the other wavelength pair. In the crosstalk measurement, the red wavelength color is the worst in the underwater environment.

The congestion of radio spectrum has led to the development of new wireless technology, Light Fidelity also referred as LIFI, which has a much broader spectrum. LIFI is a technology based on visible light communication (VLC) that makes use of LEDs as a source for data communication. The intensity of LED varies faster than a human eye can follow and helps to transmit the data. Our research deals with the usage of this technology for the future good of the world. A simple experiment to show the transmission of alphanumeric data using visible light communication is carried out. A Led light is the only source to transmit the data from the transmitter end to the receiver’s. A keyboard is being employed as an input for the alphanumeric data and an LCD to display the inputted characters.

Visible light communication VLC is deemed as futuristic technology applied for both illumination and data communication due to the low-cost energy consumption, long life expectancy, huge bandwidth, and high security compared to radio frequency RF. Uncovered area, minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and received power results from the non-uniform distribution of small base stations (i.e. Optical attocells) in the room. In this paper, the researchers propose a new LEDs distribution of five optical attocells configuration model in order to optimize the received power distribution and SNR at the center of the room for indoor VLC system. The optical attocells configuration in terms of received power to fill the uncovered area at the center of the room has been investigated. The simulation results showed that the proposed attocells configuration saved 24.9% of the transmitted power. Besides that, the whole room was covered uniformly.  As a result, the received power and SNR are improved.

Visible light communication (VLC) is a promising research topic that aims at utilizing the visible light spectrum for data communication, which in turn off-loads the heavily utilized wireless radio spectrum. VLC can take advantage of the increased use of light emitting diodes (LED) for lighting purposes in different fields, such as automotive headlights, traffic signals, advertising, aviation, and general lighting. Utilizing solid-state LEDs for lighting purposes not only saves energy but also can be used for data communication since LEDs can be easily modulated by switching the light on and off in frequencies above the human eye perception. This data can be transmitted in addition to the main lighting functionality of these devices. VLC is relatively easy to implement and safe, as it does not have potential side effects like the radio signals. As such, this new technology has a great potential for adoption in several applications. This chapter will briefly introduce the technology and discuss some potential indoors and outdoors applications.

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are emerging to enable large-scale ocean monitoring with the goal of reducing the human knowledge gap of underwater environments and the life underneath them. However, several challenges still limit the deployments of UWSNs to small-scale and confined underwater monitoring applications. The goals of this thesis are to investigate and develop cutting-edge models, algorithms and protocols in order to tackle the fundamental data communication challenge in the underwater environment and advance the state-of-the-art towards feasible large-scale deployment of UWSN applications.
