Performance Study of Random Layout Light Source for Visible Light Communication System

In indoor visible light communication, a rational layout of light sources is required to ensure that multiple users at different locations in the room can obtain better communication quality and achieve uniform coverage of optical power on the receiving surface. The article investigates the performance of an indoor visible light communication system when the random layout of the Matern hardcore point process is used and compares it with the communication performance under the Poisson point process and the binomial point process. A particle swarm optimization algorithm is introduced based on the Matern hardcore point process, where the points generated under the Matern hardcore point process are used as the initial positions of the particles, and optimization adjustments are made according to the objective function to find the optimal layout. The results show that compared with the Poisson point process and the binomial point process, the use of the Matern hardcore point process to randomly lay out the LEDs makes the light intensity in the system more uniform and the numerical fluctuation of the received power is smaller. The uniformity of the indoor illumination after the combination of the Matern hardcore point process and the particle swarm optimization algorithm reaches 0.84, the deviation of the peak power is reduced by 20%, and the average signal-to-noise ratio value is 0.86, which is an increase in the average signal-to-noise ratio compared to the average signal-to-noise ratio before optimization.
