On the Performance of a Cooperative PLC-VLC Indoor Broadcasting System Consisting of Mobile User Nodes for IoT Networks

A novel mixed cooperative relay assisted indoor power line communication - visible light communication (PLC-VLC) system for indoor broadcasting purpose consisting of mobile end user nodes for Internet of Things (IoT) network is presented in this study. Here, the PLC link acts as a backbone system to the VLC link by connecting to the latter with the help of decode and forward (DF) relay. The channel gain of the VLC systems is considered to be a...
