摘要
To optimize the uniformity of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distribution in a visible light communication (VLC) system, the firefly algorithm is improved for joint optimization of location, power allocation and orientation of a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp array. Taking 16 LED lamps as an example, optimizations with a different number of degrees-of-freedom (DOF) are investigated. The orientation-involved optimizations significantly decrease average SNR and average illuminance. However, if the average illuminance is restricted to a large value, the effects of the orientation DOF would be small. With the restriction of illuminance, the optimization with all the three DOFs gives an improvement of 4.18 times in SNR uniformity, compared to the typical square-circle layout. The optimizations are further studied by varying the number of LED lamps. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
