Hybrid visible light communication/infrared communication (VLC/IRC) systems are becoming the leading way for supplying high‐speed Internet connectivity to airplane passengers. A robust IR uplink transmission scheme is presented for in‐flight VLC/IRC systems which has the potential to support 10 Mbit/s transmission for each user in the cabin with uncoded bit error rate ≤10 −6 under the assumption of line‐of‐sight communication scenario, also in the presence of misalignments between transmitter and receiver due to random movements of the passengers.
