Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Short-Range Optical Wireless Communications
[IEEE802.15.7], "Short-Range Optical Wireless Communications" defines
wireless communication using visible light. It defines how data is
transmitted, modulated, and organized in order to enable reliable and
efficient communication in various environments. The standard is
designed to work alongside other wireless communication systems and
supports both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS)
communications. However, ambient light interference from natural
sunlight or artificial lighting sources can impact signal
reliability. To mitigate this, advanced modulation techniques,
optical filtering, and adaptive power control can be employed. This
document describes how IPv6 is transmitted over short-range optical
wireless communications (OWC) using IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless
Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) techniques.
