abstract = "In this paper, we demonstrate a study on the use of visible light communications (VLC) for downhole gas pipeline monitoring systems. As per the real field parameters, the model consists of a 7 inch diameter carbon steel coated pipe, a detector, and a light source such that the medium possesses properties of methane gas. Initially, we vary the link distance between the detector and the light source to investigate its effect on detected rays with predefined half viewing angle of the source and active area of the detector. We then investigate the effect of increasing the half viewing angle on the received power for different distance and active detecting area. The channel impulse response also is studied for different link distances (1 m to 10 m). Lastly, we analyze the path loss over multiple distances, and we include it for a benchmark setup along with proposed setup simulations.",
