This paper proposes a hybrid visible light communication/radio frequency (VLC/RF) system with simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) utilizing relay selection to take the advantages of both VLC and RF systems in terms of spectrum efficiency and coverage. The relay is selected...
