    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.

    Cooperative strategies and achievable rates for two user OFDMA channels
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2011-12) Bakım, İsmail Sezi; Kaya, Onur
    We propose three encoding strategies for a two user cooperative Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system, based on block Markov superposition encoding (BMSE). We obtain the expressions for the resulting achievable rate regions for all three encoding strategies. We show that, by allowing for re-partitioning and re-encoding of the cooperative messages across subchannels, it is possible to better exploit the diversity created by OFDMA, and higher rates can be achieved. We demonstrate potential rate gains attained by cooperative OFDMA, through simulations.

    Optimal and near-optimal partner selection algorithms in cooperative OFDMA
    (IEEE, 2012) Bakşi, Saygın; Kaya, Onur; Bıyıkoğlu, Türker
    We obtain the jointly optimal power allocation and partner selection policies, that maximize the sum rate of a cooperative OFDMA system with mutually cooperating pairs of users. We show that the power allocation and partner selection steps can be performed sequentially, and the latter step can be formulated as a maximum weighted matching problem on an undirected graph, which can be solved in polynomial time. We further propose practical algorithms, and compare their performances to the optimal matching algorithm, and demonstrate that very simple and low complexity algorithms based on user-user and user-receiver distances may provide near-optimum rate performance. Moreover, we observe that algorithms that achieve superior sum-rate performance, surprisingly pair the cell edge users, with the strong users near the base station.

    Energy harvesting cooperative multiple access channel with decoding costs
    (IEEE, 2016) Arafa, Ahmed M.; Kaya, Onur; Ulukuş, Şennur
    We consider an energy harvesting cooperative multiple access channel (AC) with decoding costs. In this setting, users cooperate at the physical layer (data cooperation) in order to increase the achievable rates. Data cooperation comes at the expense of decoding costs: each user spends some amount of its harvested energy to decode the message of the other user, before forwarding both messages to the receiver. The decoding power spent is an increasing convex function of the incoming message rate. We characterize the optimal power scheduling policies that achieve the boundary of the maximum departure region subject to energy causality constraints and decoding costs by using a generalized water-filling algorithm.

    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, Murat
    The 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.

    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.

    A new block Markov coding strategy for pairwise and collective cooperation in the three user MAC
    (IEEE, 2013) Edemen, Çağatay; Kaya, Onur
    For a three user cooperative multiple access channel (MAC), we propose a new block Markov superposition encoding strategy, which enables all three users to cooperate collectively as well as in pairs. We obtain the resulting achievable rate expressions and compare them with existing two and three user cooperative strategies. We demonstrate that significant rate gains may be possible, without resorting to adaptive encoding/decoding techniques. We investigate the contributions from pairwise and collective cooperation signals while achieving tuples on the rate region boundary, and compare by simulations the sum rates achievable by two user versus three user grouping in cooperative MACs with fixed total resources.

    When to pull data for minimum age penalty
    (IEEE, 2021-10-18) Yavaşcan, Orhan Tahir; Ceran, Elif Tuğçe; Cakir, Zeynep; Uysal, Elif; Kaya, Onur
    A communication receiver that wants to pull data from a remote sensor by exploiting wireless energy transfer is considered. The receiver has a long-term average energy budget for this operation, and its goal is to keep the time average of a general age penalty function as small as possible. The channel from the source to the receiver is a two-state (ON/OFF) communication link whose state is IID or Markovian, and known instantaneously by the receiver. Modeling the problem as a constrained Markov decision problem, we obtain a randomized threshold-based decision policy that achieves the minimum possible average age penalty. We determine the optimal time average Age of Information and age violation probabilities by exploiting the optimality of the derived policy.

    Channel modelling and performance limits of vehicular visible light communication systems
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2020-07) Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Eldeeb, Hossien Badr; Kızılırmak, Refik Çağlar; Sait, Sadiq Q.; Uysal, Murat
    Visible light communication (VLC) has been proposed as an alternative or complementary technology to radio frequency vehicular communications. 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.
