Abstract

An integration involving power line communication (PLC) and visible light communication (VLC) technologies is experimentally investigated in this work, for data transmission in hospitals. This combination represents a promising solution in classified areas, where radio frequency wireless transmission is prohibitive due to interference in machinery used in certain medical services. This is also motivated by a physical layer transparency provided by the adoption of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in both technologies. Bit rates around 10 and 230 Mb/s measured after propagation through 21.7 m in downlink and uplink, respectively, show the suitability of the PLC technology as an alternative backbone to a central data monitoring. Moreover, a bit rate around 4.8 Mb/s can be achieved with the VLC system in a link of 2.0 m, with an error vector magnitude (EVM) of \(-24\) dB, confirming the robustness of this integration.

The factor \(g=\frac{T_g}{T}\) represents a penalty introduced by the cyclic prefix, an extension also used to facilitate the equalization process implemented in the receiver to compensate linear distortions.
