Inter-Building
PLC-VLC Integration Based on PSK and CSK Techniques
ABSTRACT
This paper presents the implementation of an
integration technique used to combine power line communications (PLC) and
visible light communications (VLC) channels in inter-building scenarios. It
considers the narrow band PLC (NBPLC). Phase-shift keying (PSK) is used to
convey the information over the PLC link and colour shift keying (CSK)
technique is used on the VLC link.
The colour wheel method is exploited to map PSK
symbols to colours.We define a parameter x, which represents different
magnitudes of the PSK complex symbol observed over the PLC channel. x is
adjusted to an optimal value to meet the requirement of the CSK design. The bit
error rate (BER) is analyzed and the performance of the system is presented for
multiple Values of the modulus of the detected PSK symbol.
A practical
implementation will be performed to verify the PSK-CSK mapping method with PLC
MODEM and VLC using PIC microcontroller. Some real time parameters are using
for the testing of data sending through PLC and VLC.
