  text: "Visible light communication (VLC) allows the dual use of lighting and wireless
    communication systems by\r\nmodulation of illumination devices. However, to increase
    the performance, typically, beam-forming measures are\r\ntaken creating pencil
    beams, thus contradicting the illumination purpose. In order to optimize the performance\r\ntrade
    o\v between e\x0Ecient illumination and communication, the switching capabilities
    of illumination LEDs are\r\nexamined. Illumination LEDs with standard drivers
    and without beam-forming show limited applicability for\r\ncommunication purposes
    as they are not optimized for the necessary switching capability (f \x19 11 MHz)
    and\r\ncoherence. Methods to enhance the electrical current by pre-equalisation,
    biasing, carrier sweeping and current\r\nshaping are examined in respect to the
    illumination LED's communication performance. A novel driver scheme\r\nis derived
    which achieves considerably higher switching frequencies (f \x15 100 MHz) without
    employing beamforming\r\nat the illumination LED. This driver is able to obtain
    a data rate of up to 200 Mbit/s at a distance of\r\n3.2 m, using on-o\v keying
    (OOK) modulation technique. Therefore, it is feasible to apply the LED driver
    by\r\nimplementing standardised illumination devices in VLC systems."

  text: 'The real and effective ground of all new concepts dedicated to the current
    advanced factories, as well as to the future digital ones, is close cooperativity
    of scattered applications in highly heterogeneous systems. Communication is the
    key enabling component, and all new approaches are inspired in practice to the
    demanding characteristics of industrial networks. These kinds of computer networks,
    together with new technologies derived from distant application fields, are the
    main technological means to accelerate the fast evolution of modern factory systems.
    Due to various communication requirements coming from the plurality of structures,
    components and application contexts, communication subsystems must be increasingly
    heterogeneous. Let us say clearly: this evolution cannot be stopped at this stage,
    no special universal solution is possible, and thinking about monogamous networking
    is a kind of dreamland. This paper is an analysis of the state of the art in the
    matter of heterogeneous networking in industry. It deeply investigates both wired
    and wireless technologies from the point of view of technological aspects and
    relevant key performance indicators, such as those related to dependability, and
    it contains a prospective estimation of future trends.'
