CONNECTING THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH THE INTERNET OF THINGS THROUGH VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Internet of Things (loT), as an innovative technology, connects physical ohjects to the digital world via Visible Light Communication (VLC). ln smart environments, loT interfaces with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), enhancing user experiences and economic feasibility. This interaction leads to the formation of new MANET-IoT systems within VLC-based networks, which offer benefits such as increased user mobility, energy savings, and reduced network deployment costs. The research compares the pertormance of Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology, a VLC application, with traditional Radio Frequency (RF) technology, focusing on data rate, Bit Error Rate (BER), and power consumption .. Beyond energy efficiency,. the study .highlights the potentialofusing LEOs in both indoor and outdoor settings to create a safer, hazard-free environment. The results demonstrate energy consumption within global MANET and WSN systems in IoT-VLC environments, marking a significant advancement toward delivering reliable internet services.

PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRPTION
THE FIELD OF INVENTION (OPTICAL COMMUNICATION)
The invention pertains to innovative advancements in the field of optical communication, leading to
the development of new MANET-IoT systems within VLC-based networks.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Etlicient energy conservation is crucial for the economic development of any nation, with the energy
sector playing a central role in meeting demands, managing supplies, and driving investments. The
key to effective energy conservation lies in the careful and efficient use of electricity. Lighting
efficiency can be achieved by minimizing energy consumption without compromising user comfort,
essentially performing the same function with less energy. One way to do this is by replacing
traditional lighting with LED technology for room illumination. The adoption of LEOs helps create a
greener environment by reducing pollution. Recognizing this potential highlights the promising
advancements in energy efficiency compared to older technologies.
Various light sources, such as lasers, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and LEOs, are used for
different applications. The primary goal of LED lighting is to find safer alternatives to traditional
sources like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, which pose health risks. Compared to traditional light
sources, LEOs are approximately three times more energy-efficient. White light, commonly used in
various lighting applications, is typically created by mixing specific amounts of Red, Blue, and Green
light.
The loT is a key driver of the evolving internet landscape, transforming technological advancement
and service delivery across various communication networks. Its dynamic nature supports the
provision of sophisticated services through global infrastructures like VLC and the internet,
influencing many aspects of daily life. Within the loT framework, WSN play a vital role by offering
components such as sensing, data acquisition, heterogeneous connectivity, and data processing.
Meanwhile, MANET provides a wireless, multi-hop, and self-configuring network structure. The
integration of MANET with loT creates new opportunities for service delivery in smart environments
but also introduces complex networking challenges. This synergy not only improves service provision
but also presents new innovation opportunities and highlights the need to address the associated
networking complexities to fully leverage these interconnected technologies.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
MANET-IoT systems within VLC-based networks: These systems enable dynamic, wireless
connections between loT devices, offering benefits like increased mobility, energy efficiency, and
reduced deployment costs, all while utilizing visible light for data transmission .
