IV. WORKING
Li-Fi is typically implemented using white LED light bulbs
at the downlink transmitter. These devices are normally used
for illumination only by applying a constant current. However,
by fast and subtle variations of the current, the optical output
can be made to vary at extremely high speeds. This very
property of optical current is used in Li-Fi setup. The
operational procedure is very simple-, if the LED is on, you
transmit a digital 1, if its off you transmit a 0. The LEDs can
be switched on and off very quickly, which gives nice
opportunities for transmitting data. Hence all that is required
is some LEDs and a controller that code data into those LEDs.
All one has to do is to vary the rate at which the LEDs flicker
depending upon the data we want to encode. Further
enhancements can be made in this method, like using an array
of LEDs for parallel data transmission, or using mixtures of
red, green and blue LEDs to alter the lights frequency with
each frequency encoding a different data channel. Such
advancements promise a theoretical speed of 10Gbps
meaning one can download a full high-definition film in just
30 seconds.

that passengers will "soon" be offered a "highspeed like" connection on some airlines. United is
planning on speeds as high as 9.8 Mbps per plane.
Li-Fi could easily introduce that sort of speed to
each seat's reading light. Ill be the guy wowing
next to you. Its better than listening to you tell me
about your wildly successful son.
Smarter Power Plants(Small Industries) :
Wi-Fi and so many other radiation types are bad
for sensitive locations. Like those surrounding
power plants. But power plants required fast, interconnected data systems to monitor things like
demand, grid integrity and (in nuclear plants) core
temperature. Li-Fi could provide safe, abundant
connectivity for all areas of these sensitive Area.
Not only would this save money related to
currently implemented solutions, but also the draw
on a power plants reserves could be lessened if
they havent yet converted to LED lighting.
Under water sea Awesomeness :
Underwater ROVs work great, except when the
tether isnt long enough to explore location, or
when it gets stuck on something. If their wires
were cut and replaced with light say from a
submerged, high-powered lamp then they
would be so much free to explore. They could also
use their headlamps to communicate with each
other, processing data autonomously and referring
findings periodically back to the surface, all the
while obtaining their next batch of orders.
It Could Keep You Informed and Save Lives :
What the protocols are for those kinds of disasters.
Until they pass under a street light, that is.
Remember, with Li-Fi, if theres light, youre
online. Stations and tunnels, common dead
zonesfor most emergency communications. Plus,
in times less stressing cities could opt to provide
cheap high-speed Web access to every street
corner.

ADVANTAGES
High Speed.
Li- Fi can uses light rather than radio frequency
signals .
Integrated into medical devices and in hospitals as
this technology does not deal with radio waves, so
it can easily be used in such places where
Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi and internet are banned.

LIMITATIONS
Still there are some backdrops like it can only
transmit when in the line of sight well it can be
sorted out someday or incoming days I hope.
There has been a lot of early , and there are some
very good applications.
Although this technology sounds like a
replacement to Wi-Fi but this high speed data
transferring technology also has some limitations
that is the inability of light to pass through
obstacles .
X. CONCLUSION
Li-Fi is the upcoming and on growing technology acting as
competent for various other developing and already invented
technologies. Since light is d major source for transmission in
this technology it is very advantageous and implementable in
various fields that cant be done with the Wi-Fi and other
technologies. Hence the future appli-cations of the Li-Fi can
be predicted and extended to different plat-forms like
education fields, medical field, industrial areas and many
other fields.
Li-Fi is certainly not useless, but it has certain inherent
limits for the technology. Li-Fi may not be able to replace
conventional radios altogether, but it could turbo charge the
development of wireless television and make it easier to throw
a wireless signal across an entire house.
The possibilities are numerous and can be explored further.
If this technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can
be used something like a Wi-Fi hotspot to transmit wireless
data and we will proceed toward the cleaner, greener, safer
and brighter future.
To provide high speed communication, light is modulated
without interfering the main purpose of lamp that is of
illumination. Constant Research is going on for increasing the
transmission range and data rate of VLC. It appears to be a
potential technology for creating endless applications but
many areas are still to be improved to reach a state of
maturity. According to Dr. Suresh Borkar, communication
expert and faculty member at Illinios Institute of Technology
is regarding the hardware which is required when optics is
interfaced with electronics. Also this technology needs to be
miniaturized by developing application specific integrated
