In this paper, we consider a visible light positioning (VLP) system, where an array of photo diodes combined with apertures is used as a directional receiver and a set of inexpensive and energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is used as …
The quadrature angular diversity aperture (QADA) receiver, consisting of a quadrant photodiode (QPD) and an aperture placed above the QPD, has been investigated for pose estimation for visible light systems. Current work on pose estimation for the …
Visible light communication (VLC) is seen as a supplement for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication in short-range high data rate communication applications [1]. A reliable VLC system relies on an accurate estimate of the position and …
Cooperative communication can effectively mitigate the effects of multipath propagation fading by using relay channels to provide spatial diversity. A relaying scheme suitable for half-duplex devices is the quantize-and-forward (QF) protocol, in …
The quantize-and-forward (QF) cooperative protocol can effectively be used to combat fading in systems using half-duplex relay terminals. While the outage behavior of the QF protocol has been extensively investigated, few research has been performed …
In this paper, we express the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for channel coefficient and noise variance estimation at the destination of an Amplify-and- Forward (AF) based cooperative system, in terms of the a posteriori expectation of the codewords. An …
