Abstract

The emergent context-aware applications in ubiquitous computing demands for obtaining accurate location information of humans or objects in real-time. Indoor location-based services can be delivered through implementing different types of technology, among which is a recent approach that utilizes LED lighting as a medium for Visible Light Communication (VLC). The ongoing development of solid-state lighting (SSL) is resulting in the wide increase of using LED lights and thereby building the ground for a ubiquitous wireless communication network from lighting systems. Considering the recent advances in implementing Visible Light Positioning (VLP) systems, this article presents a review of VLP systems and focuses on the performance evaluation of experimental achievements on location sensing through LED lights. We have outlined the performance evaluation of different prototypes by introducing new performance metrics, their underlying principles, and their notable findings. Furthermore, the study synthesizes the fundamental characteristics of VLC-based positioning systems that need to be considered, presents several technology gaps based on the current state-of-the-art for future research endeavors, and summarizes our lessons learned towards the standardization of the performance evaluation.

Refining light-based positioning for indoor smart spaces
SMARTOBJECTS '18: Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Experiences with the Design and Implementation of Smart Objects

Visible light positioning, or VLP, has emerged as a low-cost approach to enabling a variety of indoor location-based services for indoor smart spaces. However, a survey of existing approaches to VLP reveals some challenges in comparing one system to ...
Using consumer LED light bulbs for low-cost visible light communication systems
VLCS '14: Proceedings of the 1st ACM MobiCom workshop on Visible light communication systems

LED-to-LED Visible Light Communication (VLC) based on Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and microcontrollers provide a foundation for networking using visible light as communication medium. We describe a low-complexity smart LED light bulb prototype that is ...
A Performance Comparison of Different Cost Functions for RSS-Based Visible Light Positioning Under the Presence of Reflections
VLCS '17: Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Visible Light Communication Systems

This paper presents a study of the performance of eight different cost metrics for RSS-based visible light positioning (VLP) under the presence of reflections. A channel model with first-order wall reflections is implemented, after which the ...
