Abstract

"Future smart healthcare operations are envisioned to require the support of high-performance wireless networks. Researchers are presented with a problem, however, as the hospital environment brings unique challenges to the application of traditional radio-frequency wireless communication networks due to health concerns and electromagnetic compatibility standards. To meet these challenges and support the advancement of high-quality healthcare, we propose the use of an alternative wireless technology in visible light communication (VLC). Contributing to the growing interest in VLC amongst researchers, we construct both a VLC network simulation testbed as well as real-world testbed to serve as a platform for the development of this rapidly advancing technology. Using these testbeds, we implement and evaluate media access control protocols for VLC in both device-to-infrastructure and device-to-device networks, focusing on application scenarios relevant to healthcare environments"-- Abstract, p. iii
