Energy Efficient Subchannel and Power Allocation for Software-defined Heterogeneous VLC and RF Networks.

Visible light communication (VLC) is considered as a promising candidate to improve the performance of indoor communication as the complement of wireless radio frequency (RF) communications due to the scarcity of RF resources. Combining the VLC with software-defined small-cell networks will substantially improve the user data rates in indoor heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we introduce the ...
