Title
Cells Planning of VLC Networks using Non-Circular Symmetric Optical Beam
Abstract
In the typical indoor office environments, the existing site locations resource on ceiling for visible light communications (VLC) access points (AP) is relatively limited due to the originally illumination & fire-fighting oriented ceiling planning. For reducing the capital expenditure of VLC networking in most situations, the straight forward solution is making full use of the limited linear location of luminaries. In this work, for the first time, the non-circular symmetric optical beam is introduced to the cells planning of VLC networks. The coverage performance is compared between the typical non-circular symmetric optical beam pattern i.e. BBE LED pattern and the well investigated circular symmetric optical beam pattern i.e. Lambertian pattern. It is sufficiently demonstrated that the satisfying matching capability of this non-circular symmetric optical beam to indoor scenario with just 3 linear site locations. By appropriately placing the BBE LED pattern, more than 12 dB the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) enhancement is provided for more than 70% receiver positions while the total optical transmitted power of all VLC AP remains unchanged. Moreover, the superior performance uniformity of this optical beam pattern is separately identified in cellular cells configuration case and in electrical frequency reuse case.
