Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) systems can support high data rates for indoor communications. In this letter, we focus on maximizing the energy efficiency (EE) of MIMO VLC systems, where the non-negativeness of the transmit signal, the optical and electrical power constraints, and the data rate and bit error rate (BER) requirements are taken into account. The formulated problem is a difficult nonlinear fractional program. We exploit the Dinkelbach’s algorithm and Lagrangian analysis to obtain a semi-closed form solution. The performance advantage of the proposed design is verified by simulation results.
