https://labs.ericsson.com/developer-community/blog/mobile-monday-london-m2m-event-summarized
Smart phones, tablets, and the rise of the Internet of Things are driving an insatiable demand for wireless capacity. This demand requires networking and Internet infrastructures to evolve to meet the needs of current and future multimedia applications. Wireless HetNets will play an important role toward the goal of using a diverse spectrum to provide high quality-of-service, especially in indoor environments where most data are consumed. An additional tier in the wireless HetNets concept is envisioned using indoor gigabit small-cells to offer additional wireless capacity where it is needed the most. The use of light as a new mobile access medium is considered promising. In this article, we describe the general characteristics of WiFi and VLC (or LiFi) and demonstrate a practical framework for both technologies to coexist. We explore the existing research activity in this area and articulate current and future research challenges based on our experience in building a proof-of-concept prototype VLC HetNet.
This paper attempts to clarify the difference between visible light communication (VLC) and Light-Fidelity (LiFi). In particular, it will show how LiFi takes VLC further by using light emitting diodes (LEDs) to realise fully networked wireless systems. Synergies are harnessed as luminaries become LiFi attocells resulting in enhanced wireless capacity providing the necessary connectivity to realise the Internet-of-Things (IoT), and contributing to the key performance indicators for the 5th generation of cellular systems (5G) and beyond
Li-Fi is a new wireless technology which provides the connectivity within localized network environment. The main principle of this technology is we can transmit the data using light illumination by using light emitting diodes where radio frequency is media in Wi-Fi and LED bulb light intensity is faster than human eye can follow. One germen phycist-Prof Harald Haas an expert in optical wireless communications at the University of Edinburgh, he demonstrated how an LED bulb equipped with signal processing technology could stream a high-definition video to a computer. By using this technology a one-watt LED light bulb would be enough to provide net connectivity to four computers. He coined the term "light fidelity" or Li-Fi. He visualizes a future where data for laptops, Smartphone, and tablets is transmitted through the light in a room. This technology is still under research and further exploitation could lead to wide applications.
