Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of unevenness of optical power distribution on the receiving plane in a visible light communication(VLC) system,a light source optimization method for an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)-assisted indoor VLC system based on the hybrid particle swarm algorithm(HPSA) is proposed.Taking the two layout schemes of rectangular and hybrid arrangements with 16 light-emitting diodes(LEDs) as examples,the variance of received optical power on the receiving plane is set as the fitness function,and the proposed HPSA is combined with the IRS technology to optimize the half-power angle and positional layout of LEDs as well as the yaw and roll angles of IRS.Subsequently,initial(unoptimized) optimization using the HPSA,and optimization using the HPSA for the IRS-aided VLC systems are simulated and compared.The results indicate that when considering the first reflection link,compared to the original VLC system,the fluctuations of received optical power and signal-to-noise ratio of the VLC system optimized with the HPSA significantly decrease for both light source layouts;the HPSA optimized IRS-aided indoor VLC system improves the received optical power fluctuations in the rectangular layout as well as the HPSA optimized VLC system,and its performance is significantly better than that of the HPSA optimized VLC system only in the hybrid layout for optical power fluctuations improvement.Among the three VLC systems,the IRS-aided VLC system based on HPSA optimization has the largest average received optical power.Besides,the average root mean square delay spread performance of the above three VLC systems using a hybrid layout is better than that of a rectangular layout.This work will benefit the study of light source distribution in indoor VLC systems.
