Since successive interference cancellation in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is enabled at the strong user to remove the signal of the weak user, if the information safety of the strong user cannot be ensured, neither can the weak user. The physical-layer security of the strong user in a two-user multiple-input single-output (MISO)-NOMA visible light communication (VLC) system in the presence of a passive eavesdropper was studied, with multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) transmitting and a photodiode (PD) receiver receiving. To demonstrate the superiority of the MISO-NOMA VLC system over the SISO-NOMA VLC system, numerical simulations were made, and results show that the secrecy outage probability (SOP) performance of the strong user in the MISO-NOMA VLC system is superior to that in the SISO-NOMA VLC system. Furthermore, the SOP of the strong user depends highly on the room arrangement, the difference between the legitimate channel and eavesdropper channel, and the properties of the LEDs and PD.

In this paper, we propose a receiver designing principle for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) systems with quadrichromatic light emitting diodes (QLEDs). To simultaneously transmit multiple data streams, the system consists of multiple QLEDs and multiple receivers; each includes four photodiodes (PDs). We optimize the Euclidean distance of the received signal over some constraints by considering the normal vectors of the receivers. The numerical results show that our proposed receiver design has a better bit error rate (BER) performance in comparison with the conventional receiver.

AbstractIn this work, we report our efforts to develop a novel inorganic halide perovskite-based bi-functional light-emitting and photo-detecting diode. The bi-functional diode is capable of emitting a uniform green light, with a peak wavelength of 520 nm, at a forward bias of >2 V, achieving a high luminance of >103 cd/m2 at 7 V. It becomes an efficient photodetector when the bi-functional diode is operated at a reverse bias, exhibiting sensitivity over a broadband wavelength range from ultraviolet to visible light. The bi-functional diode possesses very fast transient electroluminescence (EL) and photo-response characteristics, e.g. with a short EL rising time of ~6 μS and a photo-response time of ~150 μS. In addition, the bi-functional diode also is sensitive to 520 nm, the wavelength of its peak EL emission. The ability of the bi-functional diodes for application in high speed visible light communication was analyzed and demonstrated using two identical bi-functional diodes, one performed as the signal generator and the other acted as a signal receiver. The dual functions of light emission and light detection capability, enabled by bi-functional diodes, are very attractive for different applications in under water communication and visible light telecommunications.
