Abstract

Visible Light Communication(VLC) is recently developing as a method for information exchange. With the invention of LED, there have been rapid changes in the communication industry. In the recent years, visible light communications research has been developed due to its different factors that support high speed optical wireless communication. Also, it gives an overview of VLC focusing on challenges, solutions and recent research trends.
