Li-FI Technology for Indoor Access

Light Fidelity Li-Fi is a term often used to describe high speed VLC in application scenarios where Wi-Fi might also be used. The term Li-Fi is similar to Wi-Fi with the exception that light rather than radio is used for transmission. Li-Fi might be considered as complementary to Wi-Fi. If a user device is placed within a Li-Fi hot spot (i.e. under a Li-Fi light bulb), it might be handed over from the Wi-Fi system to the Li-Fi system and there could be a boost in performance. In this project, we will demonstrate an optical wireless communication system using LED bulbs providing also the illumination for a given room as a Li-Fi paradigm.

Mohamed Gado and Doaa Abd ElMoghith are electrical and communication engineers graduated from Alexandria University since 2014 and LiFi Technology for Indoor Access is their graduation project. They study Information Technology and web developing.
