Research abstract
SA-LiFi is a standard based wireless networking technology using visible or infrared light for data transmission. It utilizes OFDM modulation to significantly increase the data rate using low cost LEDs and photodiodes. The SA-LiFi combines wireless networking with LED lighting in the same lighting fixture using low voltage DC power. The system supports data rate starting at 1Gb/s and can be extended to 10Gb/s and higher. Each SA-LiFi access point supports up to 31 wireless clients and the system can be expanded linearly by increasing the number of SA-LiFi access points. The system also supports coexistence of both classified and unclassified networks.
