Summary:

The book focuses on the innovative application of Visible Light Communication (VLC) within the realm of vehicular networks to enhance autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The purpose is to explore how VLC can facilitate high-speed wireless data transmission using the visible spectrum of light, which promises a huge bandwidth, low confinement, and usage of existing LED head/taillights. Advance topics such as MIMO, Optical OFDM, PrecodingEqualization and adaptive noise cancellation are studied in detail in the realms of VLC. Furthermore, it examines the potential of VLC to complement existing communication Cellular V2X standards in scenarios demanding low latency and high reliability. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in VLC systems are also explored. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.
