Abstract

Over the last decade, Visible Light Communications (VLC) has been the focus of considerable optimistic discussion as a potential candidate for high data rate communications in next generation wireless networks. Much of the discussion has focused on the strengths, benefits, and unique characteristics in order to motivate research and commercial adoption. In this paper we describe some of the misconceptions about the technology and overview what we believe to be critical research barriers that must be addressed in order to drive the technology beyond the tipping point for broad-based adoption.
