Abstract

Light-fidelity (LiFi) is recognised as a promising technology for next generation wireless access networks. However, limited research efforts have been spent on the uplink (UL) transmission system in LiFi networks. In this article, a wireless infrared (IR)-based LiFi UL system is investigated. In particular, we focus on the performance of a single static user under the influence of random device orientation and link blockage. Simulations and mathematical analysis have been used to evaluate the UL system performance. The analytical expressions for the UL optical wireless channel and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) statistics under the effects of random device orientation and link blockage are derived. The results show that the effects of random orientation and link blockage may lead to a decrease in coverage probability by 10% - 40% with various SNR thresholds.
