Toward practical integration of dual-use VLC within 5G networks

Visible light communication (VLC), a form of indoor optical wireless access, has the potential to be an integral part of 5G networks due to the massive available spectrum in the visible light band. VLC has desirable high bandwidth density (b/s/m2) stemming from the directionality of optical signals, and can exist as part of installed infrastructure in LED-based luminaires. In spite of these benefi...
