Graph-based multi-user scheduling for indoor cooperative visible light transmission

Agent-based approach for cooperative scheduling

This paper studies the multi-factory production (MFP) network scheduling problem where a number of different individual factories join together to form a MFP network, in which these factories can operate more economically than operating individually. However, in such network which known as virtual production network with self-interested factories with transportation times, each individual facto...

Network-Centric and User-Centric Multi-User Scheduling in Visible Light Communication aided Networks

Visible Light Communication (VLC) combined with advanced illumination has been expected to become an integral part of next generation heterogeneous networks at the time of writing, by inspiring further research interests. From both the Network-Centric (NC) and the User-Centric (UC) perspectives, various VLC cell formations, ranging from fixed-shape regular cells with different Frequency Reuse (...

Distributed user-centric scheduling for visible light communication networks.

Visible light communication (VLC) networks, consisting of multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) acting as optical access points (APs), can provide low-cost high-rate data transmission to multiple users simultaneously in indoor environments. However, the performance of VLC networks is severely limited by the interference between different users. In this paper, we establish a distributed user-cen...

A Visible Light Based Indoor Positioning System

In this paper, we propose a novel indoor localization scheme, Lightitude, by exploiting ubiquitous visible lights, which are necessarily and densely deployed in almost all indoor environments. We unveil two phenomena of lights available for positioning: 1) the light strength varies according to different light sources, which can be easily detected by light sensors embedded in COTS devices (e.g....
