Biography/History:

Xavier Fernando is a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. He has co-authored over 200 research articles, three books and holds three patents. He has won 30 awards and prizes including, Professional Engineers Ontario Award in 2016; IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Prize in 2010, Sarnoff Symposium Prize in 2009, Opto-Canada best poster prize in 2003 and CCECE best paper prize in 2001. Hasan Farahneh received his PhD degree from Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada in 2018. In September 2019, he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Jordan as a teaching staff member. His research interests include wireless and visible light communication. His current research is focused on vehicular communication using visible light spectrum.

Summary:

Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as an attractive alternative to radio frequency (RF) communication, due to its abundant, license free bandwidth and cost-effectiveness. The visible light spectrum is much larger than the entire RF spectrum, and largely unexplored. VLC has proved its viability in automotive applications to provide short range vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications due to increased deployment of LED lights and image sensors in modern vehicles. However, there are a few challenges, described in this book, that need to be addressed before global adaptation. VLC can be a blessing for intelligent transportation systems and autonomous vehicles. This book stands out as a must-read for researchers, graduate students and industry professionals who work in the VLC field. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.
