[论文解读] Bidirectional Optical Spatial Modulation for Mobile Users: Towards a Practical Design for LiFi Systems
本文提出用于移动LiFi用户的双向光空间调制(OSM),采用多方向光电二极管接收器(MDR)和自适应接入点(AP)选择,以克服移动性、设备方向和遮挡带来的挑战。在误码率(BER)为3.8×10⁻³时,相比屏幕接收器(SR)实现超过10 dB的信噪比(SNR)增益,并通过理论分析与实测验证,在下行链路和上行链路中均表现出高能效。
Among the challenges of realizing the full potential of light-fidelity (LiFi) cellular networks are user mobility, random device orientation and blockage. We study the impact of those challenges on the performance of LiFi in an indoor environment using measurement-based channel models. We adopt spatial modulation (SM), which has been shown to be energy efficient in many applications, including LiFi. We consider two configurations for placing the photodiodes (PDs) on the user equipment (UE). The first one is referred to as the screen receiver (SR) whereby all the PDs are located on one face of the UE, whereas the other one is a multi-directional receiver (MDR), in which the PDs are located on different sides of the UE. The latter configuration was motivated by the fact that SR exhibited poor performance in the presence of random device orientation and blockage. We show that MDR outperforms SR by over $10$ dB at BER of $3.8\ imes10^{-3}$. Moreover, an adaptive access point (AP) selection scheme for SM is considered where the number of APs are chosen adaptively in an effort to achieve the lowest energy requirement for a target BER and spectral efficiency. The user performance with random orientation and blockage in the whole room is evaluated for sitting and walking activities. For the latter, we invoke the orientation-based random waypoint (ORWP) mobility model. We also study the performance of the underlying system on the uplink channel where the same techniques are used for the downlink channel. Specifically, as the transmitted uplink power is constrained, the energy efficiency of SM is evaluated analytically. It is shown that the multi-directional transmitter (MDT) with adaptive SM is highly energy efficient. As a benchmark, we compare the performance of the proposed framework to that of the conventional spatial multiplexing system, and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed one.
