Abstract

Multipath transmission features the indoor visible light communication (VLC), which will lead to non-uniformity distribution of the power received by receivers. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize the refraction indexes of the concentrators on receivers to achieve a uniform distribution of the received power, without decreasing the illuminance quality. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the RPDP (the Ratio of Power Deviation from Peak) from 88% to 52%, comparing with those methods on optimization of the transmitted power.
