Abstract

Visible light communication (VLC) has won much attention in recent years. In this work a visible light communication system based on IEEE 802.3 standard Media Access Control (MAC) layer is presented. The digital signal processing module of the physical (PHY) layer is implemented in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The PHY layer is connected to the MAC layer via a Media Independent Interface (MII) which has been specified in IEEE 802.3 standard. The digital part of the system is tested by a Streaming Media Server system. Maximum data rate of 30 Mb/s is achieved.
