Design of IoT based hybrid Red LED VLC-fiber communication system

Abstract

A hybrid visible light communication (VLC)-fiber link is an favorable selection in various types of geographical restriction areas from urban to rural areas for advanced internet of things (IoT) applications. It helps in reduce the cost of overall system at high data rate as well as long reach communication. In this work, a red light emitting diode (LED) based fiber-VLC system has been designed. The comparative analysis of using four LEDs in the proposed work reveals that red LED based VLC-fiber transmission system offer high data rate of 30Gbps. It also provides faithful fiber range of 40km and 80m VLC range under the presence of noise. Besides this, the proposed system is a superior system as compared to other related work.
