Abstract

Visible light communication (VLC) has been shown to have several advantages over traditional wireless communication. We envision a LED-to-smartphone VLC protocol for delivering messages to a group of unsynchronized mobile device receivers. We carefully design and implement our protocol, Martian, which allows smooth communication from the LED lights to a group of camera-enabled mobile devices. Across several phone models, Martian can achieve data rate of about 1:6kbps even with NLOS-light. Our intensive evaluations indicate that, the data rate reaches 4:2kbps on iPhone 6. This is a significant improvement compared with the 88bps data rate claimed by state-of-art design.
