Indoor Data Transmission Over Ubiquitous Infrastructure of Power line Cables and LED Lighting

Ubiquitous powerline cables and visible light optical channel is utilized for data transmission in indoor applications. In this work, multipath and noisy powerline channel is integrated to indoor optical AWGN channel and besides experimentally measurement the radiated power from white LED the performance of integrated system in terms of OFDM signal power versus BER is also studied. The results shows the system has the data rate more than 28 Mbits/second with the bit error rates lower than 10(-6) which outperforms the currently exist systems. So the new integrated system can be considered as a good alternative for other indoor wireless system counterparts.
