An introduction to Li-Fi; Analysis and review of the new IEEE 802.11 bb standard

[] An introduction to Li-Fi; Analysis and review of the new IEEE 802.11 bb standard: Abstract: We will begin by reviewing a brief overview of the current state of Li-Fi technology, the overall picture of previous Li-Fi systems, and ongoing research and industrial solutions. Then, we will cover the IEEE 802.11 bb PHY standard and its new definitions. This talk will cover the main topics of the standard: channel access, multiplexing methods, wavelength ranges, and TX/RX methods. Eventually, we will propose Light Links’ commercial approach for a hybrid, easy-to-implement Light Communication (LC) system derived from the IEEE 802.11 bb standard with the addition of a MAC layer protocol to enable co-existence with previous IEEE 802.11 standards. Presenters: Firouz Vafadari, CEO and founder of Light Links Inc. is a second-year Ph.D. student at UCSC and—the previous founder of a networking company in the Middle East. Tyler B. Morton, CTO and co-founder of Light Links Inc., is a first-year Ph.D. student at UCSC with internship experience at the U.S. Navy and DoD. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/423698
