Cover Story: In this paper, we used network calculus to carry out the worst-case bound analysis for GTS utilization of IEEE 802.15.7 and complement our model with in-depth performance analysis. From our results, we were able to infer that the VLC communication for the star topology works better in the lower superframe orders, and the performance varies predominantly based on the burst size of the data packets. Furthermore, we also explored the variance in the performance for the different PHY layers of this protocol. Despite the larger throughput provided by the high data rate supporting PHY layers, they exhibit a very similar behavior to their lower data rate counterparts. Based on our results, we can understand that these PHY layers can support even the video transmissions that usually demand larger data rates. View this paper
