Issue: Only 10% of signal power is recovered Reducing SNR, link distance LEDs with more blue energy [1] could be used to gain more filtered power, however the balance of white colour is shifted

Providing an uplink
VLC good at broadcast Uplink difficult to achieve
Retro-reflectors
Low speed Low cost
IR uplink
Separate system Infrastructure complex and expensive

Solutions
Use modulation scheme that incorporates PWM dimming (PPM-like) Use sensing to only transmit in active regions But both reduce overall data rate
Conclusions
VLC offers high SNR low bandwidth channel
Naturally suited to broadcast
Challenges
Data rate Uplink Compatibility
