Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate the channel capacity region of interference channel and develop both centralized and distributed interference management schemes for visible light communication (VLC) networks. For a typical multiuser and multi-LED scenario, we derive both discrete inner and outer bounds of the channel capacity region, and such a proposed inner bound is numerically shown to be the highest among the existing inner bounds. Moreover, with continuous input signals, we develop the channel capacity region bounds in a closed form, termed (α, β, γ) (ABG) inner bound and ABG outer bound, which are tight for the large amplitude-to-variance ratio. Then, based on the derived ABG inner bounds, we investigate a centralized beamforming design problem to minimize the total transmit power under three practical constraints: peak optical power, average optical power, and average electrical power. By utilizing semidefinite relaxation technique, we reformulate this NP-hard problem as a convex semidefinite program and obtain the optimal beamformers. Furthermore, to reduce the cost of channel station information exchange, we propose a distributed coordinated interference management scheme by adopting the alternating direction method of multipliers method. Finally, numerical results are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed interference management schemes in VLC networks.
