LiFi (light-fidelity) is recognised as a promising technology for the next generation wireless access network. However, little research effort has been spent on the uplink transmission system in LiFi networks. In this paper, an analytical framework for the performance analysis of an wireless infrared-based LiFi uplink at system level is presented. This work focuses on the performance of a single user who is randomly located in a network. Many important factors in practice are taken into account, such as front-end characteristics, channel path loss, link blockage and user device random orientations. In particular, accurate analytical expressions for the statistics of optical channel path loss has been derived. Based on this path loss statistics, the distribution of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the average achievable data rate are evaluated. A channel factor is defined as a quantity which only depends on the used devices, optical channel and noise power spectral density function (PSD). The result shows that with commercial front-end elements, an average data rate of up to 250 Mbps is achievable.
