NOMA Visible Light Communication System with Angle Diversity Receivers
In this paper, a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) visible light communication (VLC) system is investigated. The system uses angle diversity receivers (ADRs) to provide high data rates. The ADR has 4 branches, each directed to a different direction. An 8m x 4m sized room is modelled to study the resource allocation to users according to their channel conditions to maximize the data rate. The results show that using ADRs improves the data rate by an average of 35% compared to a system using wide FOV receivers
Optical Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access for Visible Light Communication
The proliferation of mobile Internet and connected devices, offering a
variety of services at different levels of performance, represents a major
challenge for the fifth generation wireless networks and beyond. This requires
a paradigm shift towards the development of key enabling techniques for the
next generation wireless networks. In this respect, visible light communication
(VLC) has recently emerged as a new communication paradigm that is capable of
providing ubiquitous connectivity by complementing radio frequency
communications. One of the main challenges of VLC systems, however, is the low
modulation bandwidth of the light-emitting-diodes, which is in the megahertz
range. This article presents a promising technology, referred to as "optical-
non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA)", which is envisioned to address the
key challenges in the next generation of wireless networks. We provide a
detailed overview and analysis of the state-of-the-art integration of O-NOMA in
VLC networks. Furthermore, we provide insights on the potential opportunities
and challenges as well as some open research problems that are envisioned to
pave the way for the future design and implementation of O-NOMA in VLC systems
Multiuser beam steering OWC system based on NOMA
In this paper, we propose applying Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA)
technology in a multiuser beam steering OWC system. We study the performance of
the NOMA-based multiuser beam steering system in terms of the achievable rate
and Bit Error Rate (BER). We investigate the impact of the power allocation
factor of NOMA and the number of users in the room. The results show that the
power allocation factor is a vital parameter in NOMA-based transmission that
affects the performance of the network in terms of data rate and BER.Comment: ICTON 202
