In this paper we present a 5G Internet Radio-Light (IoRL) architecture for homes that can be readily deployed because it utilizes unlicensed visible light and millimeter wave part of the spectrum, which does not require Mobile Network Operator (MNO) permission to deploy and which is used to provide inhabitants of houses with accurate location, interaction, access to Internet and Cloud based services such as high resolution video on a Tablet PC. The paper describes the home use cases and the IoRL architecture.

The Internet of Radio-Light (IoRL) is a cutting-edge system paradigm to enable seamless 5G service provision in indoor environments, such as homes, hospitals, and museums. The system draws on innovative architectural structure that sits on the synergy between the Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies of millimeter Wave communications (mmWave) and Visible Light Communications (VLC) for improving network throughput, latency, and coverage compared to existing efforts. The aim of this paper is to introduce the IoRL system architecture and present the key technologies and techniques utilised at each layer of the system. Special emphasis is given in detailing the IoRL physical layer (Layer 1) and Medium Access Control layer (MAC, Layer 2) by means of describing their unique design characteristics and interfaces as well as the robust IoRL methods of improving the estimation accuracy of user positioning relying on uplink mmWave and downlink VLC measurements.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that is rapidly developing, leading to a whole array of innovative commercially viable products. Some of the challenges facing the early development of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) include high cost, restricted physical movement and laborious setup. This paper highlights several of these challenges and outlines an architecture in which systems can require less specialised equipment, be used with greater freedom and are simpler to setup. This paper shows how using the correct applications, the Internet of Radio Light (IoRL) architecture could lead to enhanced VR experiences. Specifically, a wireless six Degrees of Freedom (DOF) VR system for both existing mobile and PC operated VR. The aim is, to exploit the existing IoRL architecture to provide a safer, wireless, high speed, less laborious, more immersive and improved VR experience with broader applications.
