Reading lamp-based visible light communication system for in-flight entertainment

Abstract:

This paper explores the use of a reading lamp as an access point for a Visible Light Communications (VLC) downlink channel. We have established an infrared uplink channel based on a network adapter, supporting both a VLC receiver and an infrared emitter. The optical signal power distribution over the passenger area has been also studied using a Monte Carlo Ray-Tracing algorithm. The hardware implementation and testing results are also presented.1 © 1975-2011 IEEE.
