چکیده

The Proposal: We propose to enable this vision by instrumenting the smart building with IPv6 over powerline communications. Our smart bulbs will leverage this back haul with support from the visual channel to automatically self-orient and synchronize wireless sensor nodes. We believe that decoupling synchronization from communication will enable nodes to run at lower energy levels and enable a new class of energy harvesting nodes to form full mesh networks.

Retro-VLC: Enabling Low-power Duplex Visible Light Communication

The new generation of LED-based illuminating infrastructures has enabled a “dual-paradigm" where LEDs are used for both illumination and communication purposes. The ubiquity of lighting makes visible light communication (VLC) well suited for communication with mobile devices and sensor nodes in indoor environment. Existing research on VLC has primarily been focused on advancing the performance ...

Plugo: a VLC Systematic Perspective of Large-scale Indoor Localization

Indoor localization based on Visible Light Communication (VLC) has been in favor with both the academia and industry for years. In this paper, we present a prototyping photodiode-based VLC system towards large-scale localization. Specially, we give in-depth analysis of the design constraints and considerations for large-scale indoor localization research. After that we identify the key enablers...

Application of Expurgated PPM to Indoor Visible Light Communications - Part I: Single-User Systems

Visible light communications (VLC) in indoor environments suffer from the limited bandwidth of LEDs as well as from the inter-symbol interference (ISI) imposed by multipath. In this work, transmission schemes to improve the performance of indoor optical wireless communication (OWC) systems are introduced. Expurgated pulse-position modulation (EPPM) is proposed for this application since it can ...

Optical Wireless Sensor Networks Based on VLC with PLC-Ethernet Interface

We present a white LED-based optical wireless communication systems for indoor ubiquitous sensor networks. Each sensor node could access to the server through the PLC (Power Line Communication)-Ethernet interface. The proposed system offers a full-duplex wireless link by using different wavelengths to reduce the inter-symbol interference between uplink and downlink. Through the 1-to-n optical w...
