Introduction of LiFi
Introduction of LiFi
• Optical Wireless Communication(OWC)
4
Wireless Communications:
The most common wireless
technologies use radio waves
(Wifi, Cellular network)
• Optical Wireless Communication(OWC)
– a form of optical communication in which
unguided visible, infrared (IR), or ultraviolet
(UV) light is used to carry a signal
5
Introduction of LiFi
• Visible light communications (VLC)
– Li-Fi ----Light Fidelity, Prof. Harald Haas during his
TED Global talk, 2011
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujO3hq0_tJ0)
– a light-based Wi-Fi, uses LED light instead of radio
waves to transmit information.
6
Introduction of LiFi
• Switching bulbs on and off within nanoseconds
• Switching on is a logic al ‘1’, switching it off is a
logical ‘0’, so fast that human eye doesn’t notice
(thousands of times per second)
• A demo of “Wi-fi makes room for Li-fi”
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trYBogpHHGY)
7
Introduction of LiFi
• Li-Fi uses LED lamps that can light a room as well as
transmit and receive information.

n WiFi Spectrum Relief - Providing additional
bandwidth in environments where licensed and/or
unlicensed communication bands are congested
(complementary to WiFi)
Potential Applications
15
n Smart Home Network – Enabling smart
domestic/industrial lighting; home wireless
communication including media streaming and
internet access
Potential Applications
16
n Commercial Aviation – Enabling wireless data
communications such as in-flight entertainment
and personal communications
Potential Applications
17
n Hazardous Environments- Enabling data
communications in environments where RF is not
available, such as oil & gas, petrochemicals and
mining
Potential Applications
18
n Vehicles & Transportation: Street lamps, signage
and traffic signals are also moving to LED. This
can be used for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-
roadside communications. This can be applied for
road safety and traffic management.
Potential Applications
19
n Hospital and Healthcare – Li-Fi emits no
electromagnetic interference and so does not
interfere with medical instruments, nor is it
interfered with by MRI scanners.
Potential Applications
20
n Underwater Communications: Due to strong signal
absorption in water, RF use is impractical. Li-Fi
provides a solution for short-range communications.
Potential Applications
21
§ Defence and Military Applications – Enabling high
data rate wireless communication within military
vehicles and aircraft
§ Corporate and Organisational Security – Enabling
the use of wireless networks in applications where
(WiFi) presents a security risk
§ Location-Based Services – Highly accurate location-
specific information services such as advertising and
navigation that enables the recipient to receive
appropriate, pertinent information in a timely manner.
§ Toys – Many toys incorporate LED lights and these can
be used to enable extremely low-cost communication
between interactive toys
Potential Applications
Models
• Li-Fi Consortium defined Giga Dock, Giga Beam, Giga Shower,
Giga Spot and Giga MIMO models to tackle different user
scenarios.

• Amazing Fact about Li-Fi
– Every light source in homes and offices could
potentially be a “Li-Fi” within 20 years.
– When this technology becomes feasible like the WiFi,
then our life will be awesome on earth.
– “This is the technology that could start to touch every
aspect of human life within a decade”

networks, and apply them to the embedded
system-on-chip (SoC) domain (demo example)

requirements of the traffic at reasonable
costs
• Topology classifications:
1. Direct topologies
2. Indirect topologies
38
Types of NoC
• 2D mesh is most popular topology
– all links have the same length
– area grows linearly with the number of nodes
– must be designed in such a way as to avoid traffic
accumulating in the center of the mesh

  • 48. Types of NoC • (m, n, r) symmetric Clos network: m is the no. of middle-stage switches; n is the number of input/output nodes on each input/output switch; r is the number of input and output switches; e.g. (3, 3, 4) Clos network 48 SW 0 2 SW 0 2 SW 1 1 SW 3 5 SW 3 5 SW 4 4 SW 6 8 SW 6 8 7 7 SW 9 11 SW 9 11 SW 10 10
  • 49. Types of NoC • Irregular or ad hoc network topologies – customized for an application – usually a mix of shared bus, direct, and indirect network topologies – e.g. reduced mesh, cluster-based hybrid topology 49
  • 50. NoC Routing Routing algorithm determine path(s) from source to destination. 50
  • 51. NoC Routing • NoC Routing Algorithm Attributes: – Number of destinations • Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast • Objectives: – Maximize throughput: How much load the network can handle – Minimize routing delay between source and destination: Minimize hop count 51
  • 52. Types of NoC • Deterministic Routing in a 2D- mesh NoC – XY routing – the message travels horizontally from the source node to the column containing the destination, where the message travels vertically. – east-north, east-south, west-north, and west- south.

  • 54. NoC Routing • DOR (XY) Routing: Traffic crossing bisection uniformly distributed across K channels.
