    Visible light communication (VLC) is a rapidly growing wireless communication technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) that offers high data rates and low latency, making it ideal for massive connectivity. Efficient resource allocation is essential in VLC networks to minimize inter-symbol and cochannel interferences, which can greatly improve network performance and user satisfaction. This paper focuses on an indoor IoT-based VLC system that utilizes photodetectors (PDs) on users' cell phones as receivers, with the goal of maximizing system performances and reducing power consumption by selectively activating some PDs while deactivating others. However, this objective presents a challenge due to the inherent non-convex nature of the multi-objective optimization problem, which cannot be solved by analytical means. To address this, we propose an enhanced Aquila optimization (EAO) scheme that improves upon the Aquila Optimizer (AO) by incorporating a fitness distance balance (FDB) function. We evaluate our proposed EAO in various scenarios under different settings, considering both capacity and fairness metrics. Through simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach and its superiority over classical algorithms such as Aquila Optimizer (AO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) in finding the optimal solution. Our results confirm that the proposed EAO algorithm can efficiently optimize the system capacity and ensure fairness among all users, providing a promising solution for indoor VLC systems

    Performance analysis of bidirectional multi-hop vehicle-to-vehicle visible light communication
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023) Refas, Souad; Acheli, Dalila; Yahia, Selma; Meraihi, Yassine; Ramdane-Cherif, Amar; Van, Nhan Vo; Ho, Tu Dac
    Vehicular visible light communication (VVLC) has emerged as a promising field of research, garnering considerable attention from scientists and researchers. VVLC offers a potential solution to enable connectivity and communication between travelling vehicles along the road by using their existing headlights (HLs) and taillights (TLs) as wireless transmitters and integrating photodetectors (PDs) within the car front or car-back as wireless receivers. However, VVLC encounters more challenges than indoor VLC, particularly in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, where vehicle mobility disrupts the establishment of direct communication links. To address this, we propose a multi-hop relay system wherein intermediate vehicles act as wireless relays to maintain a line-of-sight (LoS) link. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a bidirectional multi-hop relay V2V-VLC system that operates in both the forward and backward directions. Based on realistic ray tracing channel models, we derive a closed-form expression for the full bidirectional communication range. We also analyze how the transceiver's parameters and the number of relays affect the system performance. Our results show that the proposed bidirectional multi-hop relay system can extend the direct transmission range by more than 19 m with only a hop relay.
