Abstract

As industrial communication continues to evolve to increase flexibility through wireless communication, networked optical wireless communication (OWC), also known as LiFi, has emerged as a promising candidate technology due to its unlicensed spectrum and relatively deterministic propagation. The inherent containment of light improves security, enables dense cellular networks with spatial reuse, and results in reduced sporadic interference while providing high-capacity short range communication links to mobile end devices. This paper outlines the features of the new IEEE Std 802.15.13-2013, suitable for industrial OWC, and presents details of our prototype implementation along with initial experiments. The standard specifies deterministic medium access control (MAC), based on dynamic time division multiple access (TDMA), as well as two physical layers (PHYs) for extended range and robustness, and for spectral efficiency, respectively. Our prototype includes a central coordinator, implemented entirely in software, running on commodity server hardware. It connects to distributed ceiling-mounted optical wireless frontends via a packet-switched network (Ethernet) and is capable of forming them into adaptive virtual cells on a per-user basis. This approach enhances reliability through multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and allows for smooth mobility. We implemented the Pulsed Modulation PHY (PM-PHY) on a commercially available field programmable gate array (FPGA) evaluation board. Initial test results indicate that the PM-PHY supports typical distances of up to 6 m between the ceiling and the mobile device. The MAC achieves deterministic latency values below 4 ms.
工业 4.0 的 LiFi:IEEE 802.15.13 标准的主要功能、实施和初步测试
随着工业通信的不断发展,无线通信的灵活性不断提高,网络光无线通信(OWC)(又称 LiFi)因其未授权频谱和相对确定的传播方式而成为一种前景广阔的候选技术。光的固有封闭性提高了安全性,实现了空间重用的密集蜂窝网络,减少了零星干扰,同时为移动终端设备提供了大容量短距离通信链路。本文概述了适用于工业 OWC 的新 IEEE 标准 802.15.13-2013 的特点,并介绍了我们的原型实施细节和初步实验。该标准规定了基于动态时分多址 (TDMA) 的确定性介质访问控制 (MAC),以及两个物理层 (PHY),分别用于扩展范围和鲁棒性,以及提高频谱效率。我们的原型包括一个中央协调器,完全由软件实现,在商品服务器硬件上运行。它通过分组交换网络(以太网)连接到分布式天花板安装的光无线前端,并能按用户将它们组成自适应虚拟小区。这种方法通过多输入多输出(MIMO)传输提高了可靠性,并允许平滑移动。我们在商用现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)评估板上实现了脉冲调制物理层(PM-PHY)。初步测试结果表明,PM-PHY 支持天花板与移动设备之间长达 6 米的典型距离。MAC 的确定性延迟值低于 4 毫秒。
