Abstract
The thesis is dedicated to analysis and comparison between hard switching
and soft switching methods for hybrid VLC/RF systems. VLC communication is
well known for its efficient high data rate service for use in indoor environment,
however it is vulnerable to the line-of-sight obstruction. Its counterpart, RF
communication, is easy to implement and efficient as a back up means.
Optimization of the VLC/RF heterogeneous systems in terms of the overall
throughput is the novelty in the field of related studies on VLC technology based
hybrid systems. It allows not only to improve the system’s bit rate but also to find
the most favorable initial parameters for a system. The results of simulations
performed reveal the remarkable superiority of the soft switching scheme and
VLC-RF throughput functions interrelationship.
