Min-Max-MSE Transceiver Design for MU-MIMO VLC System

الملخص EN

This paper considers a multiuser (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) system with broadcast channels.

Due to the simultaneous transmission of the different source data to the receivers covered with the light rays, the interuser interference (IUI) may degrade the system performance.

We strive to suppress the IUI by minimizing the maximum mean square errors (MSE) under the assumption of the perfect knowledge of channel state information (CSI).

However, since the CSI may not be perfectly known in practice, a robust design is required against the channel uncertainties.

Additionally, the nonnegativity and the limited linear range of the optical signals have been taken into account in the VLC transceiver designs.

Simulation results validate that the proposed min-max-MSE approach can provide fair transmission, compared with the minimization of sum-MSE approach.

Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the robust scheme is capable of providing robustness and gaining a considerable bit error rate (BER) performance.
