Abstract: Recent rapid growth on smart portable computing devices pushed the radio frequency (RF) based wireless technologies to their band capacity limits. The emerging optical wireless communication has been considered as a most viable solutions to respond to the ever-increasing wireless capacity demand. Particularly, Visible Light Communication (VLC) which uses light emitting diode (LED) as a media of transmission and this enables an opportunity and infrastructure for the high/ low rate low-cost wireless communication. This paper proposes the VLC PHY/MAC design to enable the internet connectivity using VLC based network infrastructure. The proposed PHY/MAC design considered to integrate with existing network IP stack in the context of mobile communications given the recent pressing needs in mobile wireless networking. This research deliberate on key challenges involved in Smart Lighting and Wireless Networking to design the next generation wireless technologies using visible light.
