Abstract
The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) and angle diversity receiver (ADR) jointly assisted indoor visible light communication (VLC) system is proposed to improve average signal-to-noise ratio (ASNR) performance. Specifically, to maximize the ASNR at the receiving plane, the roll angle and yaw angle of IRS and the inclination angle of the side detector in the ADR structure are optimized simultaneously as one non-convex problem. With the bat algorithm, the optimal solution is numerically obtained. Results show that when the transmit power of the light emitting diode lamp array is 1W, the ASNRs of this VLC system optimized by IRS and ADR are approximately 7.89dB, 3.58dB, and 2.09dB higher than those of the original, IRS-assisted, and ADR-assisted VLC systems, respectively. Furthermore, the transmission rate and bit error rate performances of the original, IRS-assisted, ADR-assisted, and IRS and ADR jointly assisted indoor VLC systems are also simulated and compared; it is found that the performance improvement of the indoor VLC system jointly optimized by IRS and ADR is more evident than that of the other three VLC systems. This study will benefit the research and development of indoor VLC systems.
