Abstract
In this paper, a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed to be used in the optimization of the spot pattern for the indoor diffuse optical wireless network application. The channel response is analyzed using conventional grid-based patterns and a field of view (FOV) of 30 degrees is found to give a good performance balance in the uniformity of the received power distribution and multipath dispersion. Using the algorithm to determine the spot pattern for the minimum standard deviation of the received power, an improvement of more than 85% is realized. To optimize the spot pattern at 30 degrees FOV, a merit function is incorporated into the algorithm for two parameters, and the SA algorithm is run to obtain optimized spot patterns for both a 4.5m and 6m extent of the spot pattern. Various weights are used, and a performance improvement of 39% and 78% is observed for the 4.5m and 6m spot pattern sizes respectively which shows that the approach can be used to effectively optimize the spot pattern in the indoor optical wireless application.
