The present invention relates to an architecture for a system which implements LiFi, "Light Fidelity", communication technology for downlink to a low-power, "Internet of Things", tag device, along with RF backscatter system for uplink. In the proposed approach, data is transmitted from the IoT tag at extremely low power.

Applications

Our design uses LiFi in downlink and RF backscatter in uplink. It introduces a modulation scheme for the downlink LiFi transmitter, which is received and mixed by the IoT tag with the input RF carrier from the environment in order to transmit data with uplink RF backscatter signals. This approach results in consumption of the IoT tags in the order of few microWatts. For comparison, WiFi consumes hundreds of milliWatts.
