Contents
• Fiber Optical comm.
• Free-Space Optical comm. (FSO)– Visible light comm.– Laser comm.
• Near-Field Induction comm. (NFI) or Magnetic Field Area Network (M-FAN)

Fiber Optical Comm.
• In fiber optic comm., the carrier wave is visi-ble light ( at )
• Due to very high frequency, modulating the electric field is very difficult
• Nearly all optical comm. systems use inten-sity modulation
• On-off keying (OOK), which only uses two states for encoding, is used
142 10f Hz 1.5 m

Idea
• Can we use a frequency (in this case, the color of light) to increase the efficiency of encoding?
![Page 5: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Color-code Intensity Keying
• Similar to QAM scheme, but uses colors in-stead of phase. Constellation diagram would be intensity vs. color in polar coordinates
• RGB color diodes (LEDs or lasers) can repre-sent 8 colors – black, red, green, blue, yel-low, cyan, magenta, white – by combination.
• Modern Bayer-masked CCDs can easily dis-tinguish the color, hence reducing the com-plexity of the system

Color Multiplexing
• There is a patent on Color Multiplexing in fiber optic transmission(Quick, 1980)
• It is very different from my idea, however.
• CIK uses multiple source of colored diodes, but CM uses a prism to disperse white light into spectrums
• Also, my idea uses Bayer-masked CCDs to dis-tinguish colors, but their method uses photo-electric detectors.

Another Issue
• Optical fiber is unarguably better than UTP cable in terms of interference and through-put
• However, optical fiber is made of glass, which is fragile and stiff
• Glass fiber is also expensive, so there are two alternatives– Find another material (It’s not my area)– Eliminate the cable

Free-Space Optical Comm.
• Compared to conventional wireless comm.,–Minimum interference– High speed– Security
• There are two main implementations– Visible light comm. (non-directional)– Laser comm. (directional)
![Page 10: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Visible Light Comm.
• Lighting + Communication (multi-pur-pose)
• Started by Nakagawa Lab., Keio Univer-sity, Japan (2003). (will be in IEEE 802.15)
• Only uses visible light that is not injuri-ous to vision
• 10 kbit/s using ordinary fluorescent lamps • 500 Mbit/s using LEDs
![Page 11: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Laser Comm.
• High speed, directional
• This is an experimental implementation • 8-beam laser link, 1 Gbit/s at 2 km.
![Page 12: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Networking Viewpoint
• Both laser comm. and visible light comm. are not complete technologies
• They can make a link, not a network
• A novel idea to establish networks is not found yet
• Networking using directional comm.
• Idea : almost no interference and colli-sions in these comms, so ways to exploit these can be useful

Near-Field Induction
• Core technology of NFI is patented by a company, FreeLinc
• FreeLinc made some products
• Wireless energy transfer
• I found two critical problems of this tech-nology which should be solved, however
![Page 14: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
n-Body Problem
R
T1
T2
?
If there are more than three coils, a transmitter cannot properly generate current because of collision
![Page 15: Alternative Communications : Survey and Idea Lee, Gunhee](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e8f5503460f94b936e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chain Reaction Problem
R1T R2
Even if Tx range of T doesn’t reach R2, R2 get unnecessary current from R1. Also there is a possibility of further propagation.

Conclusion
• Using NFI or MFAN as an alternative method for wireless network seems hard
• Also, it suffers from heavy decaying
compared to far-field radiation
