Abstract
Various embodiments may relate to a light emitting diode (LED) communication device including a communication interface configured to couple with an electronic device. The LED communication device may also include an electrical interface electrically coupled to the communication interface. The LED communication device may further include a light emitting diode electrically coupled to the electrical interface. The electrical interface may be configured to convert data signals received from the electronic device into driving signals transmitted to the light emitting diode during uplink, and to convert sensing signals received from the light emitting diode into data signals transmitted to the electronic device during downlink. The light emitting diode may be configured to convert the driving signals received from the electrical interface into a plurality of light pulses during uplink, and to convert a plurality of light pulses received by the light emitting diode into the sensing signals during downlink.
