Modeling of IoT based High-Speed Hybrid Fiber-Optical Wireless Communication System

Abstract

An optical fiber communication may not be a favorable choice in geographical restriction areas for next generation Internet of Things (IoT) based networks at minimum cost, high data rate and long-range transmission. To reduce the cost of fiber cable, short range wireless links, to enhance the mobility and the system bandwidth, a hybrid fiber-Visible Light Communication (VLC) system is employed to access the information anywhere and anytime with less delay. In this work, a white Light Emitting Diode (LED) based fiber-VLC system has been presented. The results depict that the proposed work allows 40Gbps transmission rate, fiber range of 10km and VLC range of 800m. Also, at an optimum transmitter and receiver aperture diameters of 10cm and 10cm respectively, the desired system performance can be received. The proposed fiber-VLC system offers long range distance and high data rate under the presence of noise and interference. Besides this, the proposed system is a superior system when compared to other related work.
