A NOVEL HYBRID COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUE INVOLVING POWER LINE COMMUNICATION AND VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION

Integrated system of white LED visible-light communication and power-line communication

Enabling Low-power Duplex Visible Light Communication

The new generation of LED-based illuminating infrastructures has enabled a “dual-paradigm" where LEDs are used for both illumination and communication purposes. The ubiquity of lighting makes visible light communication (VLC) well suited for communication with mobile devices and sensor nodes in indoor environment. Existing research on VLC has primarily been focused on advancing the performance ...

Visible Light Communication

The visible light communication (VLC) refers to the communication technology which utilizes the visible light source as a signal transmitter, the air as a transmission medium, and the appropriate photodiode as a signal receiving component. The visible light communication technology has a short history compared with other communication technology, for example, public old telephone service, Ether...

A Suitable Coding Scheme for Broadband Power-line Communication

This paper introduces three coding strategies for using the Luby Transform (LT) code in a relay aided power-line communication scheme. In the first method, the relay decodes the received packets and re-encodes them for transmission towards the destination. In the second method, the relay only forwardes a random linear combination of its received packets towards the destination, while in the thi...

Software Defined Visible Light Communication

Software Defined Radio (SDR) has proven to be a practical and effective tool in RF communications, allowing flexible and rapid exploration of dynamic RF signal processing techniques while accelerating advancement of configurable RF antennas and front-end hardware. SDR concepts can be adapted to other physical media; we investigate a Software Defined Visible Light Communications (SDVLC) solution...
