Abstract

This study focuses on the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for lighting, incorporating Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology for data transmission. The Internet of Things (IoT), an inventive technology can connect physical objects to the digital world through VLC. In smart environments, IoT interacts with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), enhancing user experience and economic viability. This interaction forms new MANET-IoT systems in VLC-based networks, offering increased user mobility, energy saving and reduced network deployment costs. This work compares the performance of Light Fidelity technology of VLC and Radio Frequency (RF) technology, considering factors such as data rate, Bit Error Rate, and power consumption. The focus extends beyond energy efficiency to emphasize the creation of a hazard-free environment in the near future by using LEDs in indoors and outdoors. The obtainable outcomes of this investigation is energy consumption using global MANET and WSN in IoT VLC based system, marking a significant step towards providing reliable services over internet. Packet Delivery Rate is estimated for 100 node counts of Cluster Nodes Reinforcement Scheme in comparison with Reliable Data Transmission Model and EA-based Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (MANET) schemes in the work.
