Abstract

In this a paper, we propose a simplistic channel model for cascaded PLC-VLC system which highlights the noise scenario in such hybrid systems. The model utilises previously proposed channel transfer functions of both PLC and VLC channels and highlights the effects of the LED supply in the system. The noise scenario implemented on the model is based on the observations obtained from a practical measurement of PLC and VLC noise amplitude spectrum (NAS). The PLC-VLC channel is generalised and then simulated based on realistic data. In our results, we highlight the effect of the model's parameters and noise present in both PLC and VLC channels.
