Abstract

This work analyzes coverage in the downlink of a thinned LiFi attocell network of deterministically arranged LEDs. The network is thinned by a Bernoulli probability p over all the LEDs to decide whether each one of them acts as a LiFi source or not. Then we use the series approximation approach used in [1] to obtain closed form expressions for the probability of coverage in such thinned LiFi attocell networks and validate them using numerical simulations.
