Potentiality of a bi-directional system based on 60GHz and VLC technologies for e-health applications

To support the E-HEALTH services, a locatable, radiation-free and high-capacity communication system is urgently needed in Hospitals. In this paper, a bi-directional system is proposed combining 60GHz technology for the uplink communications and VLC downlink communications in order to offer new services of HD files as well as indoor localization. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art localization techniques based on mmW will be presented.
