A hybrid Radio Frequency and broadcast Visible Light Communication system
Abstract
Wireless network data consumption is experiencing drastic increases due to growing demands of mobile services and applications. Deployed networks using Radio Frequency (RF) communications are characterized by a shared medium, limited available spectrum and limited ability to scale with increasing demand. Directional communications, including Visible Light Communications (VLC), can limit contention in controlled environments and provide scalability through spatial reuse of the medium. This solution can provide massive aggregate data capacity in indoor scenarios if properly distributed. In this paper we propose an indoor hybrid system that integrates WiFi and VLC luminaries. Our system utilizes (i) broadcast VLC channels to supplement RF communications and (ii) a handover mechanism between WiFi and VLC to dynamically distribute resources and optimize system throughput. This approach offers the bandwidth density benefits of VLC, provides a non-intrusive RF back-channel, maintains compatibility with conventional RF devices, and demonstrates excellent scalability. Analytical and simulation results show improvements in aggregate performance (i.e., throughput and delay) of the hybrid, when compared to either system acting alone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
