    Intelligent health monitoring in 6G networks: machine learning-enhanced VLC-based medical body sensor networks
    (MDPI, 2025-04-30) Antaki, Bilal; Dalloul, Ahmed Hany; Miramirkhani, Farshad
    Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven wireless communication demand innovative Sixth Generation (6G) solutions, particularly in hospitals where reliability and secure communication are crucial. Visible Light Communication (VLC) leverages existing lighting systems to deliver high data rates while mitigating electromagnetic interference. However, VLC systems in medical settings face fluctuating signal strength and dynamic channel conditions due to patient movement, necessitating advanced optimization techniques. This paper employs a site-specific ray tracing technique in Medical Body Sensor Networks (MBSNs) channel modeling within hospital scenarios to derive channel impulse responses (CIRs) and model path loss (PL) and Root Mean Square (RMS) delay spread in two distinct hospital settings. In the first section, we evaluate Machine Learning (ML)-based adaptive modulation in VLC-enabled MBSNs and introduce a Q-learning technique enabling real-time adaptation without prior environmental knowledge. In the second section, we propose a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based approach to estimate PL and RMS delay spread in dynamic hospital environments. The Q-learning method consistently achieved the target symbol error rate (SER), though spectral efficiency (SE) was sometimes lower than optimal due to quantization limits and a cautious approach near the SER threshold. For LSTM-based channel estimation algorithm, simulation studies show that in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward scenario, D1 has the highest Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) for estimated path loss (1.6797 dB) and RMS delay spread (1.0567 ns), whereas in the Family-Type Patient Rooms (FTPR) scenario, D3 exhibits the highest RMSE for estimated path loss (1.0652 dB) and RMS delay spread (0.7657 ns).

    Intelligent health monitoring in 6G networks: machine learning-enhanced VLC-based medical body sensor networks

    Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven wireless communication are driving the adoption of Sixth Generation (6G) technologies in crucial environments such as hospitals. Visible Light Communication (VLC) leverages existing lighting infrastructure to deliver high data rates while mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI); however, patient movement induces fluctuating signal strength and dynamic channel conditions. In this paper, we present a novel integration of site-specific ray tracing and machine learning (ML) for VLC-enabled Medical Body Sensor Networks (MBSNs) channel modeling in distinct hospital settings. First, we introduce a Q-learning-based adaptive modulation scheme that meets target symbol error rates (SERs) in real time without prior environmental information. Second, we develop a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based estimator for path loss and Root Mean Square (RMS) delay spread under dynamic hospital conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first study combining ray-traced channel impulse response modeling (CIR) with ML techniques in hospital scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the Q-learning method consistently achieves SERs with a spectral efficiency (SE) lower than optimal near the threshold. Furthermore, LSTM estimation shows that D1 has the highest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for path loss (1.6797 dB) and RMS delay spread (1.0567 ns) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward, whereas D3 exhibits the highest RMSE for path loss (1.0652 dB) and RMS delay spread (0.7657 ns) in the Family-Type Patient Rooms (FTPRs) scenario, demonstrating high estimation accuracy under realistic conditions.
