Abstract: 

The rapid proliferation of IoT devices within the last decade has identified the limitations of radio frequency (RF)-only mobile communications. This talk will present the use of some alternative transmission medium (e.g. visible light, sound) instead of radio frequency signal for the performance and security enhancements of IoT. With the alternative transmission medium, we could (1) relieve the overcrowded Radio Frequency spectrum imposed by the evergrowing interconnection demand of smart devices and IoT, (2) provide some novel services which are difficult to achieve by the RF-only wireless communication, such as visual association, fine-grained location specific advertisement, etc., (3) ease the inherent security vulnerability of RF.
