基于可见光通信（VLC）的无线网络被认为优于传统的基于无线电的通信的领域之一是安全性。总结VLC安全特性的常见口号是：WYSIWYS -“所见即所送”。但是，特别是在基础设施下行通信的情况下，必须仔细提供有关数据窥探、干扰和修改的安全性。本文研究了VLC网络的物理层方面，涉及流氓发射机可能造成的中断。我们提出了一个理论系统模型，我们在模拟中使用它来评估典型室内环境中的各种流氓传播场景。我们使用估计误码率来衡量干扰和流氓数据传输的有效性。我们发现它很容易被破坏，在某些情况下甚至可以劫持合法的传输。
One of the areas in which wireless networks based on visible light communication (VLC) are considered superior to traditional radio-based communication is security. The common slogan summarizing VLC security features is: WYSIWYS—”What You See Is What You Send”. However, especially in the case of infrastructure downlink communication, security with respect to data snooping, jamming and modification must be carefully provided for. This paper examines the physical layer aspects of VLC networks with respect to possible disruptions caused by rogue transmitters. We present the theoretical system model that we use in simulations to evaluate various rogue transmission scenarios in a typical indoor environment. We use estimated bit error rate as a measure of the effectiveness of jamming and rogue data transmission. We find that it is quite easy to disrupt, and in some cases to even hijack legitimate transmission.
