Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging wireless data transmission technology. Light
is used simultaneously for illumination as well as for communication and or positioning
purposes. If fully networked dubbed Li-Fi VLC systems complement Wi-Fi access points. VLC is
an incident of optical wireless communications (OWC). OWC systems provide high data security
are license-free and may substitute radio systems when these either fail or are not permitted.
VLC technology enhances smart lighting infrastructure and Internet-of-Things (IoT) use cases.
LED-based Car-to-X communication is an enabling platform towards autonomous driving. This
workbook complements the textbook Visible Light Communications: Theoretical and Practical
Foundations and the exercises therein. The following areas are covered: OWC applications
fundamentals of illumination engineering channel modeling optical intensity modulation
schemes VLC standardization efforts the software-defined radio concept selection criteria of
photonic devices fundamental circuit designs and visible light positioning. The solutions
manual is written for students and lecturers in electrical and information engineering or
adjacent areas as well as for engineers information scientists and physicists in research
and development.
