Future Optical Camera Communication Based Applications and Opportunities for 5G and Beyond

Abstract

Optical camera communication (OCC) refers to the wireless communications between optical sources and cameras (image sensor). Camera image sensors are used to receive data from light emitting diodes. This technology can be implemented in all cameras as well in smartphone as it has the capability of image processing. In this paper we provided some future OCC based indoor and outdoor applications and described their opportunities for 5G and beyond communication systems. Also, we addressed some future works in real-time OCC features.
