Efficient Resource Allocation Scheme for Multi-User Hybrid VLC/IR Networks

An optimal fair resource allocation (OFRA) scheme is proposed to mitigate both inter-symbol and inter-user interferences in uplink multi-user VLC/IR networks. The scheme aims to improve the fairness among the users in terms of their received signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratios (SINRs) by implementing the angle diversity technology.
