Abstract
Machine-to-machine (M2M) visible light communication (VLC) is a communication architecture that makes it possible for heterogeneous devices to interact without human intervention using visible light modulated at certain frequency to enable communication. M2M VLC based is one of the feasible applications of internet of things (IoTs). This paper proposed a machine type communication (MTC) for M2M VLC based with an incorporation of energy harvesting system using a power transfer unit (PTU) with a centralized VLC access point (AP) with a probabilistic model, where an investigation is performed to the show the signal to noise ratio (SNR) distribution with a semi angle at half power of a chosen link. This is done is varying some particular parameters. This model takes in to account the channel analysis and light emitting diodes (LEDs) are place at the ceiling showing how bit rate can be effected for VLC AP with equal separation for a mobile devices or users. Such network aims at interconnecting billions of devices while investing the throughput performance of the M2M VLC based where a cluster of energy harvesting devices communicating with a VLC AP. This papers aim at proposing a design at the physical layer using various modulation scheme of modulation, demodulation, synchronization, LEDs-based analog transceiver devices and photo-detectors, error correction and so forth to ensure communication can be made to the internet. The method is implemented in simulation by considering the performance and flexibility of the system.
