  10. UP/DOWN LINK CATEGORIES (1) Various up/down link categories identified • Links between an infra/base station/access point and a mobile/fixed device • Downlink PTMP  multiplexing : with illumination and possibly dimming control • Downlink PTP or broadcast  no multiplexing : with illumination and possibly dimming control • Uplink PTMP or (two-way) broadcast  multiple access • Uplink PTP  no multiple access • Links between two mobile/fixed devices • Uplink and downlink PTP  no multiplexing, no multiple access

  26. DUPLEXING (4) • Duplex 2: (Direction Division Duplex, DDD) (cont’d) • For downlink, a broad beam is used to broadcast light signals while for uplink a narrower (pencil) beam is used to dedicate the signal to a specific receiver of a base station (or access point or infra). Infra system (base station, access point) Infra receiver Transmitter Light source Directed narrow beam User unit (mobile or fixed)

  27. DUPLEXING (5) • Duplex 3: Code Division Duplex (CDD) • For downlink and uplink, different orthogonal PN sequences are assigned. • For downlink: PN sequence i • For uplink: PN sequence j for User Unit j • With this scheme, multiplexing and multiple access can also be achieved.

  28. MULTI-HOP VLC (1) • To cover broader area in indoor environment or to overcome short range problem • An in-building space is divided into multiple cells. • Each cell has its own base station (or access point). • It is assumed that these base stations do not communicate with each other through an infra network. • To connect all base stations, some relays/repeaters are to be deployed to connect all base stations. • A mobile/fixed unit in a cell can communicate with a unit in another cell through a multiple hop connection.

  29. MULTI-HOP VLC (2) • To cover broader area in indoor environment and to increase communication ranges • A server/gateway can be connected to only one base station. • Other base stations are connected with other base stations through multiple hop links. small mesh network Base station Relay/repeater Outside network Server/ gateway

  30. MULTI-HOP VLC (3) • Advantages with multi-hop VLC: • Simple infrastructure to form a network among base stations • Ubiquity can be easily realized. • Quick deployment and flexible network configuration without additional infra networks. • For temporary events and places • Easy installation for places where frequent configuration changes are required • Short range can be overcome with multiple cells (or hops). • Line-of-sight problem can be overcome with dynamic routing scheme. • Abrupt blocking problem can be solved by switching routes – by changing to an alternative route.
