Abstract :
[en] Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a growing technology in the context of new telecommunication systems. It uses the visible and infrared spectrum to communicate data to light sensitive equipment. Thus it enables Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) lamps to have the dual role of illuminating and communicating. This means of communication is very much studied and commercialized for indoor applications. However, with the popularization of smart city applications in urban areas as well as in industries, it appears that the VLC technology could be relevant in those environments too. In order to measure its feasibility of deployment, this work proposes tools, including an innovative smoke model and the use of advanced modulation schemes, to simulate the coverage of a VLC communication in order to estimate its theoretical feasibility as well as a set of prototypes that demonstrate the technical feasibility of this technology.
