Yayın Comparative performance evaluation of VLC, LTE and WLAN technologies in indoor environments(IEEE, 2021-05-24) Zeshan, Arooba; Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Uysal, Murat; Baykaş, TunçerRecent years have seen an exponential rise in the demand for indoor wireless connections that have driven future generation networks to aim for higher data rates with extended coverage and affordable rates. The two most prominent technologies for providing indoor wireless connections, WLAN and LTE, have their limitations and they can not coexist in a single band to form heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Visible light communication (VLC) has seen rapid growth in recent years as it has the capability to seamlessly merge with the existing technologies and provide wireless connections with high data rates. VLC based hybrid indoor network effectively combines the preferences of an end-user with the practicality of implementation. In this work, we investigate specific VLC/WLAN and VLC/LTE hybrid scenarios to perform a detailed analysis on the effect of user mobility on the performance of the system and how the performance of the network (in terms of throughput) can be maximized. The study aims to show how different technologies complement each other in the best and even the worst-case scenarios.Yayın Channel modelling for indoor visible light communications(Royal Society Publishing, 2020-04-17) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Uysal, MuratVisible light communication (VLC) allows the dual use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for wireless communication purposes in addition to their primary purpose of illumination. As in any other communication system, realistic channel modelling is a key for VLC system design, analysis and testing. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of indoor VLC channel models. In order to set the background, we start with an overview of infrared (IR) channel modelling, which has received much attention in the past, and highlight the differences between visible and IR optical bands. In the light of these, we present a comparative discussion of existing VLC channel modelling studies and point out the relevant advantages and disadvantages. Then, we provide a detailed description of a site-specific channel modelling approach based on non-sequential ray tracing that precisely captures the optical propagation characteristics of a given indoor environment. We further present channel models for representative deployment scenarios developed through this approach that were adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) as reference channel models. Finally, we consider mobile VLC scenarios and investigate the effect of receiver location and rotation for a mobile indoor user. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Optical wireless communication’.Yayın Low complexity least minimum symbol error rate based post-distortion for vehicular VLC(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-10-22) Mitra, Rangeet; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Bhatia, Vimal; Uysal, MuratVehicular visible light communications (VLC) has emerged as a viable supplement for high speed next-generation vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication systems. However, performance of a V2V-VLC link is impaired due to nonlinear transfer-characteristics of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and inter-symbol interference (ISI). In this article, a low-complexity least-squares based post-distortion algorithm is formulated over reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) for a multi-hop V2V-VLC link. The impairments encountered in V2V-VLC channels are mitigated in RKHS by a minimum symbol error-rate post-distorter using a low dimensional approximation of random Fourier features (RFF) (which is a soft approximation of the feature-map to RKHS), that facilitates computationally simple post-distortion under finite memory-budget. The convergence and the BER-performance of the proposed post-distorter is analyzed over realistic V2V VLC channels obtained via ray-tracing. From the analysis, and the presented computer-simulations, the proposed post-distorter is found to exhibit equivalent convergence characteristics and error-rate over reasonable distances, with much lower computational complexity.Yayın Visible light communication with solar cell receiver for indoor IoT applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Bonakdar, Roozbeh; Edemen, Çağatay; Akbulut, Muhammed Emin; Keskin, Onur; Kaya, Onur; Uysal, MuratThe rapid increase of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has ushered in a new era of connectivity, with an increasing reliance on efficient communication models. In this context, Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) presents a promising avenue for transmitting data at the speed of light, utilizing the optical spectrum to alleviate congestion in urban environments. Leveraging Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as transmitters and solar cells as receivers, this paper explores the feasibility of indoor OWC systems. Moreover, we present an experimental setup focusing on bandwidth measurement, data transmission, and energy harvesting. Our results indicate a maximum data rate of 19.2 Kbps using On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation at a 15 cm link distance. Notably, by avoiding the utilization of external circuitry for performance enhancement of the solar cell, we tried to maintain the system's suitability for IoT applications. Our findings contribute to understanding solar cell-based data reception from LEDs, offering simulation results for practical implementation and performance considerations for indoor IoT communication systems.Yayın IEEE 802.11BB reference channel models for light communications(IEEE, 2023-12-01) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Baykaş, Tunçer; Elamassie, Mohammed; Uysal, MuratIncreasing industrial attention to visible light communications (VLC) technology led the IEEE 802.11 to establish the task group 802.11bb 'Light Communications' (LC) for the development of a VLC standard. As a part of the standard development process, the development of realistic channel models according to possible use cases is of critical importance for physical layer system design. This article presents the reference channel models for the mandatory usage models adopted by IEEE 802.11bb for the evaluation of system proposals. The use cases include industrial, medical, enterprise, and residential scenarios. Channel impulse responses and corresponding frequency responses are obtained for each use case using a ray tracing approach based on realistic specifications for transmitters and receivers, and optical characterization of the environment.
