Genesis of Li-Fi Harald Hass, a professor at the University of Edinburgh who began his research in the field in 2004, gave a debut demonstration of what he called a Li-Fi prototype at the TED Global conference in Edinburgh on 12th July 2011.
What is Li-Fi
o Li-Fi is the transmission of data through illumination by taking the fiber out of fiber optics by
sending data through a LED light bulb
o This varies in intensity faster than human eye can follow
o It is the fast and cheap wireless communication system which is optical which is optical
version of the Wi-Fi
About Li-Fio Instead of Wi-Fi modems, Li-Fi would use transceivers-fitted LED lamps that can light a room
as well as transmit and receive information
o This technology uses a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is still not greatly utilized-
The Visible Spectrum.
o Li-Fi , as it has been dubbed , has already achieved high speeds in the lab. Researchers at the
Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin, Germany, have reached data rates over 500 megabytes per
second using a standard white-light LED.
o It is capable of transmitting data at 100 MB/s
About Li-FiIssues Regarding Radio Spectrum
o Radio waveso Cost and Expensiveo Less Bandwidth compared to other spectrumso Insufficient spectrum for increasing data
o Millions of base stations consume huge amount of energy for
1.Transmitting the radio waves 2.To cool the base station cabins
o 5% Efficiency
o Less secure(passes through the walls)
o Available within the range of Base stationso Limited availabilityo Unavailable in aircrafts

How Li-Fi Workso Its working is much simply explained as follows:
o If the LED is on, the digital 1 is transmitted.
o And if it is off, the digital 0 is transmitted.
o It is possible to encode data in the light by varying the rate at which the LEDs flicker on and off
to give different strings of 1s and 0s.
How Li-Fi Works
Comparison b/w Current & Future Technology
Advantages & Disadvantages
o It is impossible to achieve more than 10Gbps, theoretically allowing a high-definition film to
be downloaded in 30 sec.
o Mostly powered by LEDs so it is cost efficient
o Transmission of data is fast and easy.
Advantages
o Presence of light is essential
o There should be line of sight
o Works better with fluorescent light and LEDs but very low
efficiency with bulbs
Disadvantages
Application Areas
In Aircraft Cabins
In Traffic Lighting
Street Lamps
In RF restricted Environments
