(Light Fidelity): An Innovative Approach to Optical Wireless Communications Review Of Literature Navaneeth Atluri Telecommunications, George Mason University Email: [email protected] Introduction The main aim of communications is to increase the data rate, which is transferring the data in a smaller bandwidth. There are two types of networking in Telecommunications, the one which we use for our phones from the satellite, which uses Radio Frequency (RF) and is known as radio communications, similar to this is Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) which also uses RF and is used in our homes. The other type of networking is Light Fidelity (Li-Fi). This uses light as a medium to transfer data. My research explores the advancements of this existing technology, which uses 2.4 megahertz bandwidth and this limits the data rate. This is when optical wireless communications or Li-Fi is considered. With the increasing use of energy efficient lighting such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), Visible Light Communication (VLC) is emerging as a promising technique for high speed indoor wireless communications. Unlike conventional light sources, these LEDs have a modulation bandwidth of several megahertz [1]. Using LED bulbs for Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) it can transfer at high speeds as much as Terabytes (TB) which is 1024 Gigabytes. Despite intense study, previous research do not consider combining multiplexing and modulation and in this paper both are combined and this increases data rates at less costs which makes the access to network cheaper. Previous research suggests that compact prism array receivers which combine both good performance and large Field Of View (FOV) can be designed [2]. But these researchers do not consider the use of array in the reverse manner using a single LED bulb to scatter the rays and increase the Field Of View. The purpose of this research is to thoroughly evaluate these older ways of working with technology, approach and suggests an innovative way of looking at Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) and suggests a new way of approach to make this network efficient and cheaper for people to use. Now LED’s are used for indoor and outdoor purposes. Light Fidelity is a process where a LED bulb is used with an amplifier to amplify the internet signals into Light waves which transfer data at high speeds of around 10 Tera Bytes per Second (GBPS). Although there are drawbacks to use Li-Fi such as Dimming where dimmed light provides less speed than with high intensity, we also have problems with direct sunlight as it corrupts light NAVANEETH ATLURI 1 intensity. With these draw backs we also have advantages with Li-Fi which are high data rates and secure internet connections. As we know that light cannot pass through solid objects, it cannot pass through our walls, which can increase the security as it cannot be accessed by wrong doers. This literature review explains the working of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques and explain multiplexing and modulation and suggest a new way of approach to solve existing challenges. Working of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO): In Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) process light is emitted from LED arrays and light from each of the LED arrays is received by all the separate receivers, but with different strengths [3]. This source explains the faults in the approach of using these techniques where the signal strength varies with each different receiver which is a drawback. This simple matrix inversion and multiplication is used to obtain an estimate of the transmitted data which is susceptible to noise and computationally inefficient compared with many of the advanced Radio Frequency (RF) techniques in use [4]. Due to this inefficiency, we can look into the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser diodes (VCSEL). Recently, VCSEL arrays have been employed at the transmitter in Line of Sight (LoS) cellular and tracked optical wireless architectures. [5-7]. These VCSEL emit light in a circular emission and due to this, these are considered much more efficient compared to other light emitting diodes such as simple matrix inversion and multiplication, these emit light in oval shape. These emitters are efficient while providing light but not so efficient while using in the Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) network as light is emitted in oval shape. Due to these drawbacks, we consider the newer approaches such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, where they use different kinds of networks such as orthogonal frequency multiplexing and precoder matrix modulation, where in these two schemes, most of the concentration is done to increase the efficiency of multiplexing and modulation which helps increase the efficiency of Li-Fi network. Asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing: If asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) is considered as a modulation scheme, we use six to eight prisms in asymmetrically clipped position such that the receiver can refract the light ray to its signal modulator, such that it improves the efficiency while using this array. ACO-OFDM is currently attracting widespread interest because it has the flexibility of a multicarrier system while also being very power efficient for small and medium sizes of constellations. [8-10]. The discussion is about the flexibility of multi carrier system which is power efficient for small and medium sizes of constellations. However these articles did not consider large size constellations which is necessary for Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) to take over existing Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Which is considered as small and medium size constellation as the new technology should be better and convince people that it is the best to take over the existing technology. After NAVANEETH ATLURI 2 intense research conclusions have been made that the channel matrices of these receivers are analyzed for a typical indoor scenario, demonstrating that as long as the number of REs is greater than the number of Transmitting LEDs, matrices with full rank can be achieved at every possible receiver position for the scenario we have considered. [11]. This implies that using channeled matrices Li-Fi technology can achieve full efficiency due to the fact that there are Radio Frequency emitters in the used system and Radio Frequency emitters should be more in number than LEDs in the system to provide balance in the network, which is a draw back and this can be fixed if a different approach such as Precoder Matrix Modulation is considered. Precoder Matrix Modulation: When Precoder Amplitude Modulation (PAM) is considered, the best option would be to use 2-PAM over one of the two spatial channels and 4-PAM over the other spatial channel [12], where in amplitude modulation we modulate amplitude to the required channel so that the channel can transmit the data in its own bandwidth and at high data rates. This is similar to another approach, where a new modulation scheme 2x2 arranging , 2,4,8 Precoder Matrix Modulation(PMM) that is appropriate for MIMO optical wireless systems with Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection (IM/DD), is proposed in this paper. The proposed PMM scheme exploits the spatial dimension in MIMO systems to realize higher-order modulations while guaranteeing a nonnegative transmitted signal, as required by IM/DD optical wireless communications. We use a 2 × 2 optical wireless system and explain how this is better [11]. Here the channels are used in such a way that if one matrix is arranged in a manner which we can consider it an X arrangement, where intensity modulation is accounted for, the intensity decreases the data rate decreases hence we use these type of modulations or channels to increase the efficiency of the network. We also account for Direct Detection (DD), where intensity modulation directly affects the detection capability of the receiver. Hence Precoder Matrix Modulation considers the increase of efficiency but this modulation needs unusual schemes, which also increases the cost of the MIMO systems. This is a draw back. In this constellation they do not consider the lower order modulation, even they achieved efficiency lower order modulation is something that questions the credibility of the existing research processes. Limitations and Future scope: All the articles help the research in their own way, yet what this existing research fails to do is combine the sources. In the first key concept, Asymmetrically Clipped Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ACO-FDM) is about the usage of multiplexing but the research’s authors fail to consider matrix modulation although they use an array. Array reduces costs but modulation needs to be done separately and that on the whole, increases the cost of the network and the first theory might not be useful for all types of modulations. When the intensity decreases we might not find the array of prism useful and it is a fault in the technology. NAVANEETH ATLURI 3 In the second key concept, they considered different types of modulation but they did not consider multiplexing as the modulation schemes need to multiplexed as multiplexing helps constellations function efficiently, if multiplexing and modulation are considered separately like these kinds of research are solely based on one aspect of communications, which might be useful for publishing, but cannot be used for the betterment of technology. Hence I suggest future research to consider the constellation sizes, every modulation schemes and using the concept of prism in the reverse way. Where a Multi Wavelength Emitting High Intensity light bulb is used and prisms are used in an array to scatter rays such that it illuminates the whole room as it saves costs to fit an array such that the data can be accessed from every part of the room. Specifications are made for the light bulb because every light bulb does not emit multi-wavelengths so that it can be scattered through a prism. For a future scope, we can also consider the use of Wi-Fi and Li-Fi in a single system such that light can produce high data rate and greater speed and where light cannot pass such as corners. We can use Radio Frequency (RF) from Wi-Fi and this might be useful in large firms. While using Wi-Fi and Li-Fi simultaneously, we can consider combining multiplexing and modulation which increases the efficiency of the network and considerably reduce usage cost of the network. Conclusion: In this review of literature I have thoroughly considered ACO-OFDM and PMM where both the concepts are efficient but combining them might result in a more efficient and cheaper constellation in networking which is definitely an aspect to look into which previous research has failed to do. Combining both Wi-Fi and Li-Fi and make the networking more efficient might be a help for the future. This suggestion is made because replacing the existing technology we need to change routers, modulators and amplifiers. This process is expensive, so we can use them simultaneously. Furthermore, this idea can revolutionize the existing telecommunications market to provide faster data rates at high speeds. NAVANEETH ATLURI 4 References: [1] J. Grubor, S. Randel, K. D.
