Rapid Development of System-on-Chip (SoC) for Network-Enabled Visible Light Communications

Asynchronous indoor positioning system based on visible light communications

Indoor positioning has become an attractive research topic within the past two decades. However, no satisfying solution has been found with consideration of both accuracy and system complexity. Recently, research on visible light communications (VLC) offer new opportunities in realizing accurate indoor positioning with relatively simple system configuration. An indoor positioning system based o...

Visible Light Communications

Visible light communication (VLC) is an optical wireless communication technology that uses low-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to not only provide light, but also broadcast data [1–3]. LEDs are extremely energy-efficient and are expected to become widespread in general lighting applications. Because LEDs are solid-state lighting devices, they can be modulated at high speed compared to other...

System-on-a-chip (soc) Verification Methods

The advent of system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology is a result of ever increasing transistor density. Unfortunately, this means that verification will pose the greatest problem to design because difficulties in verification scale faster than transistor technology. This paper provides evidence of this effect by citing industry trends, as well as discusses the potential pitfalls in SoC verification....

Design and Development of a Visible Light Communications Link

Visible Light Communications systems, in general, are designed to function as dual-purpose lighting and communications elements. We describe the development of hardware to implement a unidirectional end-toend visible light communications (VLC) link enabled by a softwaredefined radio (SDR) framework through the USRP2 radio module and the GNURadio software toolkit. This work in particular is mean...
