We consider a relay-aided Slotted ALOHA solution for uplink random access for an Optical Wireless Communications (OWC)-based Internet of Things (IoT). The first phase of uplink, the one between IoT devices and the relays, is realized using indoor OWC, while the second phase, between the relays and a base station, represents the long-range RF transmission based on low-power wide area network such as LoRaWAN and occurs outdoors. The throughput performance dependence on the OWC and RF channel conditions is observed. The behavior of the performance gain due to adding relays is highlighted and investigated under different channel and traffic conditions.
