What is Li-fi(LIGHT FIDELITY)? Light based Wi-Fi Light is used instead of radio

waves to transmit information. Transceiver fitted LED lamps

acts like Wi-Fi modems. LED lamps can light a room as

well as transmit-receive information.

Sending data through a LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than human eye can follow.

HistoryProfessor Harald Haas Prof. Harald Haas, from

university of Edinburgh in the UK is the founder of Lifi.

On 20th July 2011 he used a table lamp with an LED bulb to transmit a video of blooming flowers that was then projected onto a screen behind him. During the event he periodically blocked the light from lamp to prove that the lamp was indeed the source of incoming data.

Present Scenario1.4 Million Base Stations 5 Billion Mobile Stations

Present Scenario Radio Spectrum is congested but the demand

for wireless data double each other. Data in the form of tera bytes travel every

week or month. Every one want to use wireless data but the

capacity is drying up resulting in different issues.

So, what can carry this excess demand in future

Issues Of Using Radio Spectrum

Spectrum is 10,000 times greater than that of radio frequency.

Light waves available everywhere.

Highly efficient since LED consumes less energy.

Cannot penetrate through walls. Hence data can be secured.

Who can resolve this issue?

Principle of Li-Fi When LED is ON ,we transmit a digital signal 1 and if the LED is OFF , we transmit a digital signal 0.

Working Principle of Li-Fi

Why Li-fi use Visible Light Communication?

Gama rays, X-rays , Ultraviolet rays are harmful for the human body. Infrared Rays are also dangerous due to eye safety regulation and can only be used with low power.Radio waves are expensive and they are less secure. Therefore, only Visible rays or visible light spectrum is left which is not harmful for humans.

Characteristics Wireless Fidelity Light Fidelity

Range 100 meters Based on LED

Power Consumption Medium Low

Cost Expensive in comparison with LiFi because it uses Radio Spectrum

Cheaper than Wifi because free band doesn’t need license and uses light

Security Moderate Secured Highly Secured

Data transfer rate Within MBPS Greater than GBPS

Medium Through which data transfer

Use radio Spectrum Use light as a carrier

Spectrum Range Radio Spectrum Range is less than visible light spectrum

Visible light spectrum is 10,000 times broader than Radio spectrum range

Applications of Li-Fi

Traffic Scenario:-• Lifi can be used to communicate

with the LED’s of cars.

• This might prevent accidents by exchanging information when the vehicles are too close.

• Using Lifi, street lights can be used to send information about the road condition of the car.

Home And Small Offices In home and small offices,

Li-fi can be used to communicate with the devices such as:

Laptops Internet access HD Video

Streaming Printer

Street Lamps & Ocean Beds

An Ocean Beds Li-Fi can even work under water where wifi fails. Communication between Naval becomes easy.

Street Lamps There are millions of Lamps deployed around the world. Each of these street lamps could be a free access point.

Merits & DemeritsMerits

Data rate greater than 10Gbps theoretically allowing HD film to be downloaded in 30 seconds.

Can be used everywhere even in RF areas, since light waves will not interfere with radio waves.

As light waves cannot penetrate through walls, hence data cannot be intercepted which results in providing secured communication

Mostly LED light bulbs are used which consumes less energy. Hence cost efficient.

Demerits A major challenge of Li-Fi is how

the receiving device will transmit back to receiver.

Data transmission can be easily blocked by any object placed in front of LED source.

Interferences from external light source like sunlight, in the path of transmission can cause interruption in the communication.

Conclusion Researchers are developing a micron size LED’s. 1000 micron sized LED can fit into an area required

by 1sq.mm large single LED. A 1sq.mm sized array of micron sized LED’s could

therefore communicate 1000x1000(i.e.) million times as much information as a single 1sq.mm LED.

Thus ,if Li-Fi technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi hotspot.
