  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for visible light wireless LAN using LED light. The proposed MAC protocol has a function of automatic direction optimization for LED transceiver. There is periodical time slot for broadcasting and registration in the proposed MAC protocol. We used polling method for data transfer in the protocol since visible light is hard to detect carrier and collision by other mobile stations; thus we cannot use CSMA/CD method in visible light LAN. We also amended the MAC frame of IEEE 802.11 to propose a revised version for visible light wireless LAN using LED light. We investigate the performance of the proposed MAC protocol. When the bit rate of physical layer is 100 Mb/s, the net data throughput using the proposed MAC protocol is estimated to 94.386 Mb/s.
