Visible light communication (VLC) is a new paradigm that could revolutionise the future of wireless communication. In VLC, information is transmitted through modulating the visible light spectrum (400⁻700 nm) that is used for illumination. Analytical and experimental work has shown the potential of VLC to provide high-speed data communication with the added advantage of improved energy efficiency and communication security/privacy. VLC is still in the early phase of research. There are fewer review articles published on this topic mostly addressing the physical layer research. Unlike other reviews, this article gives a system prespective of VLC along with the survey on existing literature and potential challenges toward the implementation and integration of VLC.
可见光通信（VLC）是一种新的范式，可能会彻底改变未来的无线通信。在 VLC 中，信息通过调制可见光光谱（400nm-700nm）进行传输，该光谱用于照明。分析和实验工作表明，VLC 具有提供高速数据通信的潜力，并且具有提高能量效率和通信安全性/隐私性的优点。VLC 仍处于研究的早期阶段。关于这个主题发表的评论文章较少，主要涉及物理层的研究。与其他评论不同，本文从系统的角度介绍了 VLC，并对现有文献进行了调查，以及对 VLC 的实施和集成所面临的挑战进行了探讨。
