Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for robust visual light communication for vehicle-to-vehicle communication. An example vehicle includes a visual light communication (VLC) transmitter, a VLC communication receiver, and a VLC module. The VLC module sends a first handshake message including characteristics of the VLC transmitter and the VLC receiver using a first level of error correction. The VLC module also adjusts transmission parameters based on a received second handshake message. Additionally, the VLC module transmits data using a second level of error correction.
Claims16
A vehicle comprising:
- a visual light communication (VLC) transmitter;
- a VLC receiver;
- and
- a VLC module to:
- send a first handshake message including characteristics of the VLC transmitter and the VLC receiver using a first level of error correction;
- adjust transmission parameters based on a received second handshake message;
- transmit data using a second level of error correction.
A method comprising:
- sending, via a visual light communication (VLC) transmitter, a first handshake message including characteristics of the VLC transmitter and a VLC receiver using a first level of error correction;
- adjusting, by a VLC module with a processor, transmission parameters based on a received second handshake message;
- transmitting, via the VLC transmitter, data using a second level of error correction.
