Performance Analysis of a Hybrid PLC–VLC Communication System with Coded OFDM and Realistic Indoor Optical Propagation
The paper presents a hybrid Power Line Communication–Visible Light Communication (PLC–VLC) system for indoor broadband connectivity using convolutionally coded 16-QAM OFDM in the PLC backbone and DCO-OFDM in the VLC downlink. The system is modeled in MATLAB, incorporating frequency-selective PLC channel characteristics...
