How has the development of visible light communication technology impacted data transmission rates?
The development of visible light communication (VLC) technology has significantly impacted data transmission rates, offering a promising alternative to traditional radio frequency (RF) communication methods. Innovations in VLC technology, such as the use of GaN-based blue micro-light-emitting diode (µ-LED) arrays, have demonstrated enhanced light output power and increased transmission data rates up to 1.50 Gbps, attributed to improvements in luminescence efficiency and optical power. Further advancements have enabled high data rate capacity in VLC, with successful transmission of data at rates of 10 Gbps over diffused channels, showcasing VLC's potential for smart city infrastructure. LiFi, a subset of VLC, has shown capabilities of transmitting data at speeds of 150 Mbps using LEDs, indicating a significant leap over traditional WiFi technologies. Techniques like pre-equalization have been implemented to improve the quality and reliability of audio data transmission in indoor environments, further enhancing the versatility of VLC. Despite challenges related to the frequency bandwidth and data transference rate due to long carrier lifetimes in luminescent materials, recent advances aim to overcome these limitations. Experimental results have confirmed VLC's efficacy in transmitting audio data, with green LEDs producing the highest output voltage, indicating color-specific performance variations. VLC's application in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has been explored, highlighting its potential to improve traffic congestion and safety while offering high data security and energy efficiency. Experimental studies on Li-Fi have demonstrated successful data transmission of various types, including audio, text, and images, through VLC technology. Efforts to boost VLC data rates using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices have achieved throughputs up to 80 kbps at a distance of 2 m. Lastly, VLC's capability for image transmission has been validated, with a 100% success rate for images sent over a distance of 50 cm. Collectively, these advancements underscore VLC's transformative impact on data transmission rates, offering a viable and efficient alternative to conventional communication technologies.
