Abstract

This paper introduces a hybrid system that simultaneously provides two communication links, a Light Fidelity (LiFi) link and an Optical Camera Communications (OCC) link. It aims to take advantage of OCC to support LiFi in a mobile scenario with reduced alignment constraints. Novel codes are proposed to enable OCC modulation and dimming control, while Augmented Spectral Efficiency Discrete Multitone (ASE-DMT) is selected as a high spectral-and-energy efficient LiFi modulation technique. An experimental demonstration, supported by computer simulations, shows the high performance of the system. Particularly, during the simultaneous OCC-LiFi transmission and dimming control, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of at least 25 dB is achieved in various measurements from both OCC and LiFi decoders. Also, a data rate gain of 18.75 kbps is achieved by the OCC link in the hybrid system when compared to the LiFi link at the communication bandwidth of 20 MHz.
