    On the performance of MIMO vehicular visible light communications
    (Springer, 2023) Yahia, Selma; Meraihi, Yassine; Gabis, Asma Benmessaoud; Ramdane-Cherif, Amar
    Vehicular communication has attracted much interest as one of the essential elements of intelligent transportation systems. It allows connectivity and data sharing between the traveling vehicles along the road in a way to improve road safety and offer comfortable driving during trips. In this paper, we investigate the performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) vehicular communication system utilizing the visible light communication (VLC) technology. Specifically, we consider a VLC based-vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system, where the two vehicles follow each other on a single-lane road. We construct a 2 × 2 MIMO transmission system utilizing the two headlights of the source vehicle as wireless transmitters while two photodetectors (PDs) are installed at the destination vehicle acting as wireless receivers. For obtaining the optical channel gain, we adopt the ray-tracing of OpticStudio taking into account the possibility of both vertical and horizontal displacements between the vehicles same as the effect of weather conditions. The received optical power and the bit-error-rate (BER) are investigated for each MIMO link between transmitters and receivers. The impact of displacements, weather conditions, and receiver apertures is also addressed

    Multi-Directional Vehicle-To-Vehicle Visible Light Communication With Angular Diversity Technology
    (IEEE, 2020) Yahia, Selma; Meraihi, Yassine; Benmessaoud Gabis, Asma; Ramdane-Cherif, Amar
    In this paper, we investigate the performance of the multi-directional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) visible light communication (VLC) system by deploying the angle diversity technology. We consider a road with a multi-lanes configuration where multiple cars utilize their headlights to transmit the signals to a receiving car. Such car uses an angle diversity receiver consisting of three photodetectors (PDs) and oriented in different directions. The effect of the field-of-view angle (FoV) of the PD same as the semi-half angle of the transmitter on the received signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) are investigated. We also investigate the impact of higher data rates on the system performance. The results show that the system can achieve an SNR higher than 13.6 dB at a transmission distance of 50 m. Such SNR value is required to achieve a reliable communication system with bit error rate (BER) less than 10 −3 .
