    Channel modeling and characterization for VLC-based medical body sensor networks: trends and challenges
    (IEEE, 2021-11-15) Dönmez, Barış; Mitra, Rangeet; Miramirkhani, Farshad
    Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation media through the use of optical carriers, i.e., visible, Infrared (IR), and Ultraviolet (UV) bands. In this paper, we focus on indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC)-based Medical Body Sensor Networks (MBSNs) which allow the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to communicate between on-body sensors/subdermal implants and on-body central hubs/monitoring devices while also serving as a luminaire. Since the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the communication systems depends heavily on realistic channel modeling and characterization, this paper aims at presenting an up-to-date survey of works on channel modeling activities for MBSNs. The first part reviews existing IR-based MBSNs channel models based on which VLC channel models are derived. The second part of this review provides details on existing VLC-based MBSNs channel models according to the mobility of the MBSNs on the patient’s body. We also present a realistic channel modeling approach called site-specific ray tracing that considers the skin tissue for the MBSNs channel modeling for realistic hospital scenarios.

    Enabling 5G indoor services for residential environment using VLC technology
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-03-10) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Zeydan, Engin; Mitra, Rangeet
    Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a viable complement to traditional radio frequency (RF) based systems and as an enabler for high data rate communications for beyond-5G (B5G) indoor communication systems. In particular, the emergence of new B5G-based applications with quality of service (QoS) requirements and massive connectivity has recently led to research on the required service-levels and the development of improved physical (PHY) layer methods. As part of recent VLC standards development activities, the IEEE has formed the 802.11bb “Light Communications (LC) for Wireless Local Area Networking” standardization group. This paper investigates the network requirements of 5G indoor services such as virtual reality (VR) and high-definition (HD) video for residential environments using VLC. In this paper, we consider such typical VLC scenarios with additional impairments such as light-emitting diode (LED) nonlinearity and imperfect channel feedback, and propose hyperparameter-free mitigation techniques using Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) methods. In this context, we also propose using a direct current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM)-based adaptive VLC transmission method that uses precomputed bit error rate (BER) expressions for these RKHS-based detection methods and performs adaptive BER-based modulation-order switching. Simulations of channel impulse responses (CIRs) show that the adaptive transmission method provides significantly improved error rate performance, which makes it promising for high data rate VLC-based 5G indoor services.

    Generic BER analysis of VLC channels impaired by 3D user-mobility and imperfect CSI
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021-07) Reddy Sekhar, K.; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Mitra, Rangeet; Turlapaty, Anish Chand
    Visible light communications (VLC) has emerged as a high-speed, low-cost, and green supplement for the existing radio frequency (RF) based infrastructures. However, the performance of VLC based systems is found to degrade significantly due to detrimental outages caused by non-negligible variations in the VLC channel-gain, that are jointly induced by radial user-mobility and random photodetector-orientation (together designated as 3D mobility in this letter). In addition to the 3D user-mobility mentioned above, the performance of VLC based systems is further limited by imperfect channel-state information (CSI). Such degradations in the VLC-link caused by the aforementioned factors necessitate the quantification of performance-metrics for further benchmarking/receiver-design. In this work, an analytical expression for bit-error rate (BER) is derived for a single LED indoor VLC system considering the radial user-mobility, random receiver orientation, and imperfect CSI altogether. Further, the derived BER expressions are validated using computer-simulations using typical VLC channel models from the literature. A close agreement between the analytical and the simulated BER is observed, which verifies the accuracy of the presented analysis.

    Least minimum symbol error rate based post-distortion for adaptive mobile VLC transmission with receiver selection
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021-08) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Mitra, Rangeet
    In the context of beyond-5G indoor communication systems, visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a viable supplement for existing RF-based systems and as an enabler for high datarate communications. However, the existing indoor VLC systems are limited by detrimental outages caused by fluctuations in the VLC channel-gain due to user-mobility. Furthermore, the nonlinear characteristics of the light-emitting diode (LED) degrade the performance of VLC systems in the highpower regime by warping the input constellation. Additional performance-limits are introduced by inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to finite modulation-bandwidth of LEDs, and reflections from walls. In this paper, a random Fourier feature (RFF) based post-distorter is considered for mitigating the LED nonlinearity, and relevant expressions for the signal to noise ratio (SNR) are derived for a direct current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) system. Based on the derived expressions for SNR, the effects of user-mobility and ISI are mitigated by a DCO-OFDM based adaptive VLC transmission technique, which varies the transmission-rate/modulation-order under a specified error-rate constraint. Simulations are presented over channels obtained by ray-tracing, which indicates that the proposed algorithm achieves superior data-rates with a significantly lower error-rate.

    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, Murat
    Vehicular 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.
