Abstract

The integration of power line communication (PLC) and visible light communication (VLC) is increasingly receiving a lot of research interest with the advent of (IEEE 1901, ITUT G.9960/61) and IEEE 802.15.7 standards for PLC and VLC respectively. In particular, there is an underlying gain that could be achieved by leveraging the existing ubiquitous power line network infrastructure to render connectivity, while we also exploit the illumination system of power-saving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for wireless data communication. The ubiquitous nature of these two systems makes us belief that VLC can offer a good complementary wireless data transmission technology to the existing In-House PLC in a similar manner broad-band Ethernet connections enjoys the support of Wi-Fi. This paper thus reports an implementation of a low complexity FSK-OOK In-House PLC and VLC Integration, as well as it's Second-Order Semi-Markov Model. The resulting statistical models facilitates the design and evaluation of forward error correcting codes to mitigate burst error occurrences, as well as optimizing the performance of the overall system.
