Method and system for identifying and mitigating interference caused by rogue Li-Fi access point

Abstract:

A method and system for identifying and mitigating interference caused by a rogue Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) access point in a Li-Fi communication network is disclosed. The method includes detecting interference caused by the rogue Li-Fi access point in a first set of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) from a plurality of LEDs within the Li-Fi access point. The plurality of LEDs is arranged in a predefined pattern within the Li-Fi access point, and wherein a coverage area associated with the Li-Fi access point is equally divided amongst the plurality of LEDs. The method further includes disabling data transmission from the first set of LEDs in response to detecting the interference. The method further includes enabling data transmission from a second set of LEDs from the plurality of LEDs. The second set of LEDs is unaffected by interference caused by the rogue Li-Fi access point.
