Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach of using Light-Fidelity to network Flying Ad-hoc Network (FANET) for information sharing in a cooperative and collaborative manner. Its inherent characteristics such as the security, nature of the links, bandwidth requirement make the choice of the communication medium in FANET important. However, due to the special features of Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) such as the inability to penetrate wall which makes it secure, the speed of data transfer greater than 1Gbps, makes it suitable as a communication medium for FANET. This work developed a Li-Fi transmitter and Receiver Circuit for FANET. This developed circuit is expected to be used as an inbuilt communication system for information sharing. The developed system was used to demonstrate the proof of concept to the product via laboratory experiment. The test bed was connected to a computer system which served as the ground terminal. In addition, test for communication range and connectivity were carried out. The communication range is currently24 m.
