LiFi Integrated to Power-lines for Smart Illumination cum Communication

ABSTRACT:

LiFi is a new paradigm for short-range wireless technology to provide unprecedented connectivity within a localized data-centric environment. Li-Fi is a transmission of data through illumination, sending data through a led light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. This sort of communication can be called Visible light communication(VLC). Using this technique, the user can transmit the data through light from one device to another.  Li-Fi Integrated to Power-lines for Smart Illumination cum Communication.

EXPLANATION:

LiFi Integrated to Power-lines for Smart Illumination cum Communication. The vital part of the Visible light communication (VLC) system is LEDs, which send data by flashing light at speeds undetectable to the human eyes. LEDs are more advantageous than the existing incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes in terms of long life expectancy, high tolerance to humidity, low power consumption, and minimal heat generation lighting. There are several advantages of LiFi based on white LEDs for communications over WiFi and IR for indoor access:  LEDs are less expensive than laser sources used in IR.  LiFi system is cheap, durable, robust, secure, aesthetic & fashionable with untrammeled bandwidth opportunities.  The visible light occupies unregulated and unlicensed THz spectrum since it does not cause or suffer from any electromagnetic interference, whereas interference is common in using Wi-Fi or any other RF system.  Visible light communication does not have any possibility of leaking out when the light is isolated, which offers better security than wireless LAN, and does not suffer performance losses even when a variety of computers are connected at once. The shadowing effect is much less compared to the IR case because LED light fixtures are distributed throughout the room.
