Interference Management In Visible Light Communication Networks

Abstract: Important research endeavors have been directed over the past ten years, towards investigating elective parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that could potentially offload a substantial part of the network traffic from the overcrowded Radio Frequency (RF) domain. Due to the most recent upgrades, the OWC proves to be a viable alternative solution to the issues of forth coming RF spectrum crisis, especially in certain places and situations. Visible Light Communication (VLC) can achieve the two-fold objective of illumination and short-range communication with the upsides of minimal effort, free spectrum, natural confidentiality, and low energy consumption. While, interference management is a noteworthy test in VLC systems. This work proposes a coalition formation game for interference management in VLC networks. The performances of VLC APs with and without forming coalitions are both analyzed. The merging, solidness and unpredictability of the proposed calculation are additionally talked about. Numerical outcomes are given to represent the adequacy of the proposed system.
