Reflection-based Relaying Techniques in Visible Light Communications: Will It Work?. In: IEEE Access, vol. 8, April 2020, Pp. 80922-809352169-3536https://hdl.handle.net/10016/32732Visible Light Communication (Vlc) Is Capable Of Satisfying The Escalating Data Rate Demand In Indoor Scenarios. The Lighting Infrastructure May Also Be Exploited In The Downlink Of A Wireless Local Area Network (Wlan), Where Light-Emitting Diodes Are Used For Transmitting Information. The Backhaul Of Vlc Access Points (Aps) Constitutes A Potential Bottleneck In Wlans, Especially In Large Rooms Where The Number Of Aps Is High. Thus, An Alternative Reflection-Based Cooperative Wireless System Concept Is Proposed, Where No Wired Connections Are Required For Connecting The Aps. Then, Its Data Rate Analysis Is Developed Based On The Signal-To-Noise Ratio Attained. The Results Show That The Performance Of The Cooperative Wireless System Advocated Closely Approximates The Performance Of The Traditional Wired Backhaul. Finally, We Demonstrate By Using Jain&#39 S Index Of Fairness That The Proposed Scheme Provides Fair Coverage Quality For All Users.engresearch articlehttps://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.2990660open access8092280935IEEE Access8AR/0000027465
