Oil or Gas Station Parameter Monitoring for Industrial Application using IEEE 802.15.4 and MIMO based Visible Light Communication

IEEE 802.11b & 802.15.4 operate at Industrial, Scientific & Medical (ISM) band of 2.4 GHz. In most of the industrial monitoring systems, the WLAN & WSN co-exist & dealing with such a heterogeneous system forming a single network becomes a sensitive issue. The IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor devices are very much vulnerable to interference with IEEE 802.11b WLAN standard devices. Though such a wireless communication makes the industrial monitoring simpler as compared to the wired system, IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor devices are very much vulnerable to interference with IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard devices because of which the WLAN devices nearby may affect the WSN data. In this paper we present an alternative MIMO based VLC system replacing the WLAN system for reducing data packet loss.
