摘要:

高数据率服务和应用的不断发展将很快需要使用未开发的、丰富的、不受管制的可见光频谱进行通信,以充分满足第五代(5G)移动技术的需求。射频(RF)网络被证明难以覆盖数据率服务的升级。可见光通信(VLC)已成为一种极具潜力的解决方案,可以替代或补充现有的RF网络,以支持预计的流量需求。尽管VLC网络具有丰富的优势,但VLC面临着许多挑战,必须在不久的将来解决这些挑战,以实现完全标准化并集成到未来的无线系统中。在这里,我们回顾了VLC网络领域的新兴研究,并提出了挑战,技术解决方案和未来工作预测。具体来说,我们首先回顾VLC信道容量的推导,讨论性能指标和相关变量;本文还讨论了VLC网络的优化问题,包括资源和功率分配技术、用户到接入点(AP)关联和AP到簇用户关联、AP协调技术、非正交多址(NOMA)VLC网络,同时使用可见光的能量收集和信息传输,以及VLC网络中的安全问题。最后,我们提出了几个开放的研究问题,以优化各种VLC网络的总和速率,公平性,能源效率,保密率,或收获的能量最大化。

英文摘要:

The evolving explosion in high data rate services and applications will soon require the use of untapped, abundant unregulated spectrum of the visible light for communications to adequately meet the demands of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile technologies. Radio-frequency (RF) networks are proving to be scarce to cover the escalation in data rate services. Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a great potential solution, either in replacement of, or complement to, existing RF networks, to support the projected traffic demands. Despite of the prolific advantages of VLC networks, VLC faces many challenges that must be resolved in the near future to achieve a full standardization and to be integrated to future wireless systems. Here, we review the new, emerging research in the field of VLC networks and lay out the challenges, technological solutions, and future work predictions. Specifically, we first review the VLC channel capacity derivation, discuss the performance metrics and the associated variables; the optimization of VLC networks are also discussed, including resources and power allocation techniques, user-to-access point (AP) association and APs-to-clustered-users-association, APs coordination techniques, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) VLC networks, simultaneous energy harvesting and information transmission using the visible light, and the security issue in VLC networks. Finally, we propose several open research problems to optimize the various VLC networks by maximizing either the sum rate, fairness, energy efficiency, secrecy rate, or harvested energy.
