POWER SAVING FOR AN OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Power saving is achieved in an optical wireless communication (VLC/LiFi) system by using a polling-based medium access control (MAC) scheme, wherein an access point can use a silent period when no one is polled (and EPs can thus sleep). When transmission queues are empty, the access point may apply...

Zusammenfassung:Power saving is achieved in an optical wireless communication (VLC/LiFi) system by using a polling-based medium access control (MAC) scheme, wherein an access point can use a silent period when no one is polled (and EPs can thus sleep). When transmission queues are empty, the access point may apply the silent period which may be based on a minimum polling interval announced by broadcast.
