Abstract
In 5G, indoor visible light communication is going to use panel of white light emitting diodes (LED) to provide high-speed communication as well as illumination. In this system, it is important to maintain uniform illuminance as non-uniformity creates bright and dark spots, which may cause discomfort for the occupants. The uniform illuminance depends upon the position and semi-angle of radiation associated with the LED panel. The objective is to optimize the position of the LED panels so that the received power and SNR at all locations in the room are uniform. The optimization task is carried out using a new metaheuristics whale optimization algorithm. Simulation study is performed in a room with dimension 5 × 5 × 3 m, having 4 to 6 LED panels (each with 60 × 60 LEDs). Results reveal that the proposed approach obtained superior uniformity (received power and SNR achieved in dB) compared to that achieved by particle swarm optimization.
