A SIMO Hybrid Visible-Light Communication System for Optical IoT

Visible-light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology utilizing light-emitting diodes and photodetectors (PDs) and cameras [i.e., image sensors (ISs)] as the transmitter and receivers (Rx), respectively, for simultaneous data communications, illumination, localization, and sensing in the indoor optical Internet of Things. We propose a single-input–multiple-output (SIMO) hybrid VLC system usi...
