Ubiquitous powerline cables and visible light optical chanel is utilzed for data transmision in indor aplications. In this work, multipath and noisy powerline chanel is integrated to indor optical AWGN chanel and besides experimentaly measurement the radiated power from white LED the performance of integrated system in terms of OFDM signal power versus BER is also studied. The results shows the system has the data rate more than 28Mbits/second with the bit eror rates lower than 10-6 which outperforms the curently exist systems .So the new integrated system can be considered as a god alternative for other indor wireles system counterparts.

I. INTRODUCTION
Ubiquitous powerline cables and visible light optical channel is utilized for data
transmission in indoor applications. In this work, multipath and noisy powerline channel is
integrated to indoor optical AWGN channel and besides experimentally measurement the
radiated power from white LED the performance of integrated system in terms of OFDM
signal power versus BER is also studied. The results shows the system has the data rate more
than 28Mbits/second with the bit error rates lower than
