Abstract

With the widespread of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a primary source of illumination, visible light communication (VLC) offers a lot of potentials by providing both resources and energy saving advantages. This paper presents a practical implementation of an integration of Power Line Communication (PLC) and VLC. The system uses spread frequency shift keying (S-FSK) and on-off keying (OOK) in the PLC and VLC channel respectively. The system is of low complexity, low cost and dedicated to enhance low data rate application of PLC technology. The practical design is compatible with the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) band A and the test are done on a Chinese home environment where the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) specifies a 3 kHz to 500 kHz band. Results illustrating the effect of sunlight on this system are presented.
