Abstract

In recent wireless networking optical communication is an emerging field. Another novel approach of optical communication using Narrow Line of Sight technique is discussed. Array of trans receivers are placed on the ceiling to communicate with the mobile nodes (users / trans receivers) instead of a single transmitter. An intelligent position tracking technique based on the informations available from prepositioned sensors and using them in simple geometric equations is described. Intelligent cell concept is used to facilitate the tracking system. The whole wide area is divided into several sub areas and some of the sub areas are designated as boundary sub areas which hold the data regarding the movement of the mobile nodes. The Diffie Hellman simple authenticated key agreement is used for secure communication.
