Yayın Path loss and RMS delay spread model for VLC-based patient health monitoring system(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-05-13) Dönmez, Barış; Miramirkhani, FarshadVisible Light Communication (VLC) emerges as a supplementary technology to ubiquitous Radio Frequency (RF) since VLC meets the very high data rate, very high reliability, and ultra-low latency requirements driven by the trends in beyond-5G communication systems. Since VLC offers a solution to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and security problems in hospital environments, it becomes a better alternative for Medical Body Sensor Networks (MBSNs). Nonetheless, user mobility in a 3D environment causes a degradation in channel DC gain that leads to an optical path loss and also affects the time dispersive properties of multipath channels. In our paper, we adopt a ray tracing-based site-specific channel modeling method to characterize VLC-based MBSNs channel parameters. Based on the channel characteristics, we propose statistical models for path loss and Root Mean Square (RMS) delay spread in realistic Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward and Family-Type Patient Room (FTPR) where user upon which three MBSNs nodes placed walks over extensive realistic random trajectories. The simulation results indicate that both path loss and RMS delay spread follow a log-normal distribution.Yayın A path loss model for link budget analysis of indoor visible light communications(Istanbul Univ-Cerrahpasa, 2021-05) Miramirkhani, FarshadIn the context of beyond 5G indoor communication systems, visible light communications (VLC) has emerged as a viable supplement for existing radio frequency based systems and as an enabler for high data rate communications. However, the existing indoor VLC systems are limited by detrimental outages caused by fluctuations in the VLC channel gain because of user mobility. In this study, we proposed a tractable path loss model for indoor VLC that reflects the effect of room size and coating material of surfaces. We performed an extensive advanced ray tracing simulation to obtain the channel impulse responses within a room and presented a path loss model as a function of distance, room size, and coating material through curve fitting. In addition, path loss parameters such as the path loss exponent and the standard deviation of the shadowing component were determined. The simulation results indicate that path loss is a linear function of distance, path loss exponent is a function of room size and coating material, and shadowing follows a log normal distribution.Yayın Channel modeling and characterization for VLC-based MBSNs impaired by 3D user mobility(IEEE, 2021-11-27) Dönmez, Barış; Miramirkhani, FarshadThis paper focuses on channel modeling and characterization of indoor visible light communication (VLC)-based medical body sensor networks (MBSNs) which establish links between light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and MBSNs nodes couple with photodetectors (PDs) placed on the shoulder (D1), wrist (D2), and ankle (D3) of the mobile user who walks over random trajectories in 3D scenarios of ICU ward and family type patient room. We adopt non-sequential ray-tracing to obtain channel impulse responses (CIRs) and channel characteristics over random trajectories. Based on simulation results, it is observed that channel DC gains exhibit sinusoidal behaviour for D1 and D2 except for D3 (i.e., due to the number of diffuse rays received at D3), as the user approaches and moves away from the luminaries. It is also revealed that a flat fading channel can be modeled if a data rate lower than 7.03 Mbit/s, i.e., sufficient for MBSNs applications, is chosen.Yayın Complex and real rays in three dimensional Minkowski space(IEEE, 2002) Hasanoğlu, ElmanA new approach to the theory of complex rays is proposed. It is shown that the Minkowski space is more appropriate for describing these rays than the usual, Euclidian spaces. Some illustrative examples are represented.Yayın ViLDAR-Visible light sensing-based speed estimation using vehicle headlamps(IEEE, 2019-11) Abuella, Hisham; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Ekin, Sabit; Uysal, Murat; Ahmed, SamirThe introduction of light emitting diodes (LED) in automotive exterior lighting systems provides opportunities to develop viable alternatives to conventional communication and sensing technologies. Most of the advanced driver-assist and autonomous vehicle technologies are based on Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) or Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems that use radio frequency or laser signals, respectively. While reliable and real-time information on vehicle speeds is critical for traffic operations management and autonomous vehicles safety, RADAR or LiDAR systems have some deficiencies especially in curved road scenarios where the incidence angle is rapidly varying. In this paper, we propose a novel speed estimation system so-called the Visible Light Detection and Ranging (ViLDAR) that builds upon sensing visible light variation of the vehicle's headlamp. We determine the accuracy of the proposed speed estimator in straight and curved road scenarios. We further present how the algorithm design parameters and the channel noise level affect the speed estimation accuracy. For wide incidence angles, the simulation results show that the ViLDAR outperforms RADAR/LiDAR systems in both straight and curved road scenarios.Yayın A path loss model for vehicle-to-vehicle visible light communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-07) Eldeeb, Hossien Badr; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Uysal, MuratThe increasing adoption of LEDs in exterior automotive lighting makes visible light communication (VLC) a natural solution for vehicular networking. In this paper, we consider a vehicle-to-vehicle link and propose a path loss expression as a function of distance and different weather conditions. We conduct ray tracing simulations and verify the accuracy of proposed expression. We further use this expression to derive the achievable transmission distance for a targeted data rate while satisfying a given value of bit error rate. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the achievable distances for single and dual photodetector deployment cases.Yayın Beam tracing theory in Minkowski space(IEEE, 2011) Hasanoğlu, ElmanThis paper provides a novel approach to beam theory in homogeneous lossless mediun.

Front and back vehicle lights can serve as wireless transmitters making VLC a natural vehicular connectivity solution. In this paper, we evaluate the performance limits of vehicular VLC systems. First, we use non-sequential ray tracing to obtain the channel impulse responses (CIRs) for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) link in various weather conditions. Based on these CIRs, we present a closed-form path loss expression which builds upon the summation of geometrical loss and attenuation loss and takes into account asymmetrical patterns of vehicle light sources and geometry of V2V transmission. The proposed expression is an explicit function of link distance, lateral shift between two vehicles, weather type (quantified by the extinction coefficient), transmitter beam divergence angle and receiver aperture diameter. Then, we utilize this expression to determine the maximum achievable link distance of V2V systems for clear, rainy and foggy weather conditions while ensuring a targeted bit error rate.
