Enabling Cooperative Diversity Techniques for Underwater Acoustic
Communications
ABSTRACT
The expected wide-scale availability of LEDs in the future opens the door for so-called visible light communication (VLC).
VLC can be used in a wide range of short- and medium-range communication applications including wireless local, personal
and body area networks, vehicular networks and machine-to-machine communication among many others. With its unique
advantages and large potential application areas, VLC presents a transformative and far-reaching solution for wireless
communications. However, in many respects, VLC is still in its infancy and requires further research efforts to overcome
several major technical challenges before its wide-scale implementation. This project aims to significantly increase the
scientific understanding and technical knowledge of the emerging field of VLC by exploring and developing novel methods,
models and techniques in visible spectral bands that will facilitate the implementation of future generations of VLC systems.
The resulting high-performance, high-reliability, ultra-fast, powerefficient, and low-cost VLC systems are envisioned to be
an indispensable part of the future wireless eco-system. The outcomes of this project will help establish VLC as a mature
communication technology and present a powerful alternative and/or complement to existing technologies in a diverse range
of communication applications.
