    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 co- channel interferences, which can greatly improve network perfor- mance 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.

    A survey of channel modeling techniques for visible light communications
    (Elsevier, 2021) Yahia, Selma; Meraihi, Yassine; Ramdane-Cherif, Amar; Gabis, Asma Benmessaoud; Acheli, Dalila; Guan, Hongyu
    Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a subset of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) originally based on Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for data transmission in an imperceptible way to human vision. Thanks to its wide license-free bandwidth, high security, and its low cost, VLC becomes a revolutionary alternative to the Radio Frequency (RF) networks. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of VLC channel modeling techniques. It describes the main VLC channel components. It gives different channel models in indoor, outdoor, underwater, and underground environments. It draws a synthesis comparing the algorithms proposed in each environment. Moreover, the paper gives concluding remarks and future research directions for VLC channel models
