Abstract
Device-to-device (D2D) communication that delivers a dedicated channel with low latency and high spectral efficiency has been considered an essential solution for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. To achieve such D2D-V2V communication, the beam-steering technique using optical wavelengths can be an attractive candidate due to the advanced optical wireless technologies for point-to-point applications. Recently, there has been research on high-performance optical beam-steering techniques based on microelectromechanical systems mirrors and spatial light modulators in quasi-static indoor environments. Due to the optomechanical complexity, size, and cost, however, their suitability for D2D-V2V applications is problematic. In this work, a cost-effective optical beam-steering system based on a fluorescent reflector and stereo vision for D2D-V2V is introduced. Proof-of-concept demonstration using off-the-shelf devices and components shows that the proposed system can support $+\text{-} 30 {\text -} {\deg}$ field of view with a data rate of 300 Mb/s.
