A Public Information Precoding for MIMO Visible Light Communication System Based on Manifold Optimization
Visible light communication (VLC) is an attractive subset of optical
communication that provides a high data rate in the access layer of the
network. The combination of multiple inputmultiple output (MIMO) with a VLC
system leads to a higher speed of data transmission named as MIMO-VLC system.
In multi-user (MU) MIMO-VLC, a LED array transmits signals for users. These
signals are categorized as signals of private information for each user and
signals of public information for all users. The main idea of this paper is to
design an omnidirectional precoding to transmit the signals of public
information in the MUMIMO-VLC network. To this end, we propose to maximize the
achievable rate which leads to maximizing the received mean power at the
possible location of the users. Besides maximizing the achievable rate, we
consider equal mean transmission power constraint in all LEDs to achieve higher
power efficiency of the power amplifiers used in the LED array. Based on this
we formulate an optimization problem in which the constraint is in the form of
a manifold and utilize a gradient method projected on the manifold to solve the
problem. Simulation results indicate that the proposed omnidirectional
precoding can achieve superior received mean power and bit error rate with
respect to the classical form without precoding utilization.Comment: This paper has been submitted to an IEEE Journa
Application of NOMA in Vehicular Visible Light Communication Systems
In the context of an increasing interest toward reducing the number of
traffic accidents and of associated victims, communication-based vehicle safety
applications have emerged as one of the best solutions to enhance road safety.
In this area, visible light communications (VLC) have a great potential for
applications due to their relatively simple design for basic functioning,
efficiency, and large geographical distribution. Vehicular Visible Light
Communication (VVLC) is preferred as a vehicle to everything (V2X)
communications scheme. Due to its highly secure, low complexity, and radio
frequency (RF) interference-free characteristics, exploiting the line of sight
(LoS) propagation of visible light and usage of already existing vehicle
light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This research is addressing the application of
the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technique in VLC based Vehicle-to-
Vehicle (V2V) communication. The proposed system is simulated in almost
realistic conditions and the performance of the system is analyzed under
different scenarios
On the performance analysis of NOMA-based vehicular visible light communication systems
Communication-based vehicle safety applications have emerged as one of the best solutions to enhance road safety. In this area, visible light communication (VLC) has great potential for such applications, named Vehicular VLC (V-VLC). V-VLC is preferred due to its highly secure, low complexity, and radio frequency (RF) interference-free characteristics, exploiting the line of sight (LoS) propagation of visible light and usage of already existing vehicle light-emitting diodes. This research addresses the application of the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique in V-VLC based vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In this study, we proposed a system integrating NOMA in V-VLC networks and comprehensively provided an analysis of the system. Subsequently, we derived theoretical achievable capacity and an exact bit error rate expression for the proposed scenario. This paper also covers discussions about system performance under the non-ideal NOAM at the receiver, the effect of transmitter-receiver distance, and the impact of different weather conditions. The derived analytical BER and channel capacity expressions are verified with the simulation results
