N2 - Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a high-capacity connectivity solution for underwater sensor networks. Since water is relatively transparent to blue or green light, visible light lasers or LEDs can be used as transmitters for underwater wireless connectivity with data rates up to hundreds of Mbps. In underwater networks, a critical system design issue is the network lifetime which highly depends on the battery capacity. Since recharging in underwater scenarios is typically very costly and impractical, energy harvesting can be considered as a promising alternative. In this paper, we explore simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) for VLC-based USNs. We adopt time splitting method where the receiver switches in time between the modes of energy harvesting (EH) and information decoding (ID). We derive a closed-form expression for the average harvested energy over log-normal model underwater turbulence channel. Using this expression, we determine the splitting factor between EH and ID operation modes to maximize the harvested energy while satisfying a given bit error rate value.
