A Reliable Singular Value Decomposition and Geometric Mean Decomposition Based Precoding Scheme for MU-MIMO-VLC System

In this paper, in order to improve the reliability of Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Visible Light Communication (MU-MIMO-VLC) system, we propose a precoding scheme that based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Geometric Mean Decomposition (GMD) assisted Orthogonal Transformation (OT). In this design, we use SVD to conduct the decomposition of the user’s complementary channel matrix. Then, the equivalent channel matrix is obtained by multiplying the user’s channel matrix and the decomposed component. After that, the GMD is carried out to decompose the equivalent channel matrix. Finally, the precoding matrix of the proposed scheme is obtained. We then derive the theoretical Symbol Error Rate (SER) of the proposed scheme. The simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and to demonstrate that the reliability of the proposed design is superior to benchmark schemes.
