Abstract
Techniques are described for providing an ad hoc mesh network of nodes that employ a light-based transmission protocol, such as a version of light fidelity (LiFi). The mesh network includes multiple nodes that each includes transceiver(s) for sending and receiving light-based communications. A node in the mesh network can receive a message signal sent by another node, by detecting the light modulations emitted by the sending node to transmit the message signal. The receiving node can forward the message signal to other node(s) that are proximal to the receiving node (e.g., that are in line-of-sight with the receiving node), by emitting the appropriate light modulations to send the message signal. In this way, a message signal can be conveyed from one node to another, from one endpoint of the mesh network to another endpoint of the mesh network.
