Abstract
In this paper, a novel and unique mobility support scheme for a color-clustered (CC) full-duplex multiuser (MU) bidirectional visible light communication (VLC) network is presented. Mobility is classified into two categories: intercluster and intracluster. In the proposed scheme, the mobility support is efficiently provided using a color filter array (CFA) at the downlink receiver. This CFA gives rise to receiver diversity in the form of selection combining yielding performance improvement. Simulations are conducted in terms of communication delay and frame loss rate relative to user speed and distance. In addition, the bit error rate (BER) performance and the data rate are analyzed in the CC MU VLC network. It is demonstrated that the proposed CFA and receiver diversity based mobility scheme in the CC MU VLC network offers superior performance in terms of BER and data rate in indoor environments.
