  • Visible light communications personal area network controller and access point systems and methods
    Patent number: 9806811
    Abstract: A network, a Visible Light Communications controller (120), and a method relate to a network architecture splitting frame processing functionality between Light Fidelity Access Points (130) and the Visible Light Communications controller or a virtualized controller. In such configurations, the Light Fidelity Access Points are so-called thin devices that may be widely deployed through an infrastructure to concurrently provide illumination and network access via Visible Light Communications protocols such as IEEE 802.15.7 or variants thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.

  • Systems and methods for visible light communications personal area network and wireless local area network interworking
    Patent number: 9706426
    Abstract: A method, a controller, and a network provide Visible Light Communications Personal Area Network (VPAN) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) interworking and mobility management systems and methods. The method includes receiving data traffic from both a Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN) domain and a Visible Light Communications (VLC) domain, uniquely identifying, in a controller, a device in both the WLAN domain and the VLC domain as a same device using an addressing scheme associated with both the WLAN domain and the VLC domain, wherein the device is configured to operate in both the WLAN domain and the VLC domain, and providing data traffic to the device via one of the WLAN domain and the VLC domain based on a plurality of factors.

  • Visible light communications personal area network controller and access point systems and methods
    Patent number: 9525486
    Abstract: A network, a Visible Light Communications (VLC) controller, and a method relate to a network architecture splitting frame processing functionality between Light Fidelity (LiFi) Access Points (APs) and a VLC controller or virtualized controller. In such configurations, the LiFi APs are so-called thin devices that may be widely deployed through an infrastructure to concurrently provide illumination and network access via VLC protocols such as IEEE 802.15.7 or variants thereof.
