Abstract

Hybrid light-fidelity (LiFi) and wireless-fidelity (WiFi) networks (HLWNets) provide a promising solution for the future indoor wireless communications. This network structure faces the challenge of traffic congestion since LiFi links are prone to be blocked due to angular misalignment and path obstruction while WiFi has limited capacity. In this paper, a novel network structure that enables device-to-device (D2D) technology in HLWNets is considered. Then, traffic grooming (TG) for D2D-enabled HLWNets with massive light-path blockages is researched. By jointly handling mode selection, user pairing, and resource allocation, TG is formulated as a joint optimization problem. This can efficiently groom low-speed connections from WiFi onto high-capacity LiFi when massive light-path blockages occur, thus increasing network throughput. Next, a three-stage heuristic TG algorithm is developed to reduce the computational complexity required to solve the optimization problem. Finally, by simulation, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated. The simulation results indicate that the network throughput can be increased by up to 20% with the proposed algorithm. Besides, the proposed algorithm also has significant advantages in terms of Jain's fairness index and user satisfaction.

在支持d2d的混合LiFi和WiFi网络中,针对大量光路阻塞的流量疏导
混合光保真(LiFi)和无线保真(WiFi)网络(HLWNets)为未来的室内无线通信提供了一种很有前途的解决方案。这种网络结构面临着流量拥塞的挑战,因为在WiFi容量有限的情况下,LiFi链路容易由于角度不对准和路径阻塞而被阻塞。本文考虑了一种新的网络结构,该结构能够在HLWNet中实现设备对设备(D2D)技术。然后,研究了具有大量光路阻塞的D2D启用HLWNet的流量疏导(TG)。通过联合处理模式选择、用户配对和资源分配,TG被公式化为一个联合优化问题。当出现大规模光路堵塞时,这可以有效地将WiFi的低速连接培养到高容量LiFi上,从而提高网络吞吐量。接下来,开发了一种三阶段启发式TG算法,以降低解决优化问题所需的计算复杂度。最后,通过仿真验证了该算法的有效性。仿真结果表明,该算法可以使网络吞吐量提高20%。此外,该算法在Jain的公平指数和用户满意度方面也具有显著优势。
