Abstract-This paper considers a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) interference channel. The multi-user interference (MUI) can be successfully eliminated with the perfect knowledge of channel state information (CSI). However, the perfect information may not be available at transmitter, which will lead to severe interference and consequently degrade the system performance. Robust precoding design with the assist of block diagonalization (BD) scheme is proposed to minimize the mean square error (MMSE), which not only completely suppresses the MUI but also maximizes the sum rate of the MU VLC system. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
