Abstract
We consider a massive Internet of Things (IoT) scenario where indoor IoT devices access the network via optical wireless communication (OWC) IoT systems that relay data via a backhaul radio frequency (RF) low-power wide-area network (LP WAN). We propose a novel two-tier multi-rate Slotted ALOHA (SA) system model to design and analyse such hybrid OWC/RF networks. For a particular hybrid OWC/RF setup, we present an in-depth numerical investigation that provides insights into the proposed two-tier multi-rate hybrid OWC/RF SA system design.
