Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Achieving high-speed optical wireless communication (OWC) with efficient energy usage and full coverage in dynamic environments remains a significant challenge, particularly due to misalignment issues caused by user mobility and random receiver orientations. To address these challenges, this study introduces an innovative reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-assisted laser-based light-fidelity (LiFi) system enhanced for energy efficiency and comprehensive coverage. An algorithm is developed to optimize the placement of RIS, reducing the need for continuous real-time adjustments and decreasing system complexity. Moreover, this study introduces a novel power allocation algorithm for multi-tier access points (APs) designed to reduce power consumption. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over previous designs in terms of transmitted power and outage probability.
