“…In addition, lenses (optical elements) collect light and focus on the receiver aperture. Then, the signal is amplified through optical pre-amplification, and thus the strength of the received signal is improved [ 8 , 17 , 33 , 77 , 92 ]. A camera image sensor or PD is used at the receiver side to convert optical signals into electric currents.…”

“…Earlier results have focused on indoor channel modeling, which does not apply to vehicular VLC systems with inherently different characteristics. For example, earlier works assumed the ideal Lambertian model for vehicular light sources, which fails to match the illumination characteristics of automotive headlights, taillights, traffic lights, and streetlights with their asymmetrical intensity distributions [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. The effects of road reflectance, road type, weather conditions, the orientation of the user/vehicle equipment and infrastructure, receiver aperture size, and sunlight might strongly affect the link performance of vehicular VLC systems.…”

Visible Light Communication (VLC) has recently emerged as an alternative to RF-based wireless communications. VLC for vehicles has demonstrated its potential for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) to exchange information between vehicles and infrastructure to achieve ITS core goals, such as improving road safety, passenger comfort, and traffic flow. This paper seeks to provide a detailed survey of vehicular VLC systems. This paper presents an overview of current developments in vehicular VLC systems and their benefits and limitations for experienced researchers and newcomers.

“…The implementation of vehicular VLC using the IEEE 802.11 WiFi standard has also been tested in the literature. In [187], an IEEE 802.11-compliant vehicular VLC system is tested by integrating custom-made driver hardware, commercial vehicle light modules, and an open-source implementation in GNU Radio.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative technology marking the beginning of a new era where physical, biological, and digital worlds are integrated by connecting a plethora of uniquely identifiable smart objects. Although the Internet of terrestrial things (IoTT) has been at the center of our IoT perception, it has been recently extended to different environments, such as the Internet of underWater things (IoWT), the Internet of Biomedical things (IoBT), and Internet of un-derGround things (IoGT). Even though radio frequency (RF) based wireless networks are regarded as the default means of connectivity, they are not always the best option due to the limited spectrum, interference limitations caused by the everincreasing number of devices, and severe propagation loss in transmission mediums other than air. As a remedy, optical wireless communication (OWC) technologies can complement, replace, or co-exist with audio and radio wave-based wireless systems to improve overall network performance. To this aim, this paper reveals the full potential of OWC-based IoT networks by providing a top-down survey of four main IoT domains: IoTT, IoWT, IoBT, and IoGT. Each domain is covered by a dedicated and self-contained section that starts with a comparative analysis, explains how OWC can be hybridized with existing wireless technologies, points out potential OWC applications fitting best the related IoT domain, and discusses open communication and networking research problems. More importantly, instead of presenting a visionary OWC-IoT framework, the survey discloses that OWC-IoT has become a reality by emphasizing ongoing proof-of-concept prototyping efforts and available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) OWC-IoT products.
