Abstract :
VLC technology is receiving increasing attention in research and product development these days because high lumen/watt LEDs are becoming the dominant sources for artificial lighting. Successful VLC data transmission from luminaires requires that the data first be moved to the luminaires over a backbone network. This article addresses the lighting control network as a backbone for VLC services and describes a standards-drafting project, designated BSR E1.45, for entertainment lighting control to support the transmission of data for VLC from luminaires. E1.45 specifies a data frame format that can coexist with ANSI E1.11 messages on lighting control network, and thus deliver VLC data to luminaires for transmission from those luminaires.
