This paper presents a new and unique approach that significantly increases the channel capacity of multiuser indoor optical wireless communication systems. In particular, we consider an orbital angular momentum (OAM) based multiuser indoor communication with a unique optical geometric transformation (OGT) technique. We derive the channel impulse response for OAM carrying Laguerre-Gaussian beams using the angular spectrum method. The optical transceiver is designed on the principle of space variance and parallel processing by realizing a geometric transformation in structured light. Specifically, each transmitter transforms transverse positions in the input beams into multiplexed azimuthal positions at the output. The transmitter uses the orthogonality of OAM modes to encode many optical channels on the same wavelength. As a proof of concept, multiple signals are encoded on each transmitter and multicast to various receivers simultaneously. The amplitude function and the spatial dependence of the OAM field vectors are analyzed. We visualize the combined effects of the dispersion, optical channel noise immunity, accuracy of timing extraction, and intersymbol interference on the performance of the proposed system. In addition, we analyze the impact of multiuser interference on performance. The channel equalization condition for an interference-free transmission is also presented. Moreover, we present the impacts of amplification gain and reflectivity on the ripples. The results illustrate that reflectivity has a strong impact on ripples. The proposed transceiver design can also easily distinguish the true mode from other neighboring modes, as we expect the energy of an OAM-carrying beam to spread from the true mode symmetrically to its neighbors. In addition, the proposed transceiver design enables the detection of existing all multiple OAM modes through a single transformation. Finally, it is shown from a series of results and comparative analyses that the proposed system can offer very high channel capacity in indoor optical multiuser communication systems, while maintaining an arbitrary low bit error rate.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are expected to play a crucial role in providing high-speed Internet access and low-latency communication worldwide. However, some challenges can affect the performance of LEO satellite networks. For example, they can face energy and spectral efficiency challenges, such as high power consumption and spectral congestion, due to the increasing number of satellites. Furthermore, mobile ground users tend to operate with low directive antennas, which pose significant challenges in closing the LEO-to-ground communication link, especially when operating at a high-frequency range. To overcome these challenges, energy-efficient technologies like reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and advanced spectrum management techniques like non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be employed. RIS can improve signal quality and reduce power consumption, while NOMA can enhance spectral efficiency by sharing the same resources among multiple users. This paper proposes an energy-efficient RIS-assisted downlink NOMA communication for LEO satellite networks while ensuring the quality of services. The proposed framework simultaneously optimizes the NOMA transmit power of the LEO satellite and the passive beamforming of RIS, considering the assumption of imperfect successive interference cancellation. Due to the nature of the considered system and optimization variables, the energy efficiency maximization problem is non-convex. In practice, obtaining the optimal solution for such problems is very challenging. Therefore, we adopt alternating optimization methods to handle the joint optimization in two steps. In step 1, for any given phase shift vector, we calculate satellite transmit power towards each ground terminal using the Lagrangian dual method. Then, in step 2, given the transmit power, we design passive beamforming for RIS by solving the semi-definite programming. We also compare our solution with a benchmark framework having a fixed phase shift design and a conventional NOMA framework without involving RIS. Numerical results show that the proposed optimization framework achieves 21.47% and 54.9% higher energy efficiency compared to the benchmark and conventional frameworks.

In this paper, we consider a simultaneous lightwave and power transfer-enabled indoor visible light communication system and aim to investigate how to manage the transmission power from multiple transmitters to provide both information and energy harvesting. We formulate three different optimization problems, all aiming to minimize the total average transmit power at the luminaries, assuming different performance constraints, such as data rate, energy harvest, and illumination requirements. The first problem aims to find the optimal beamforming matrix and the transmit powers at light emitting diodes (LEDs), while the second problem aims to use zero-forcing beamforming and finds the optimal transmit powers. Finally, the third problem aims to find the minimum number of LEDs required to satisfy the given constraints. Relying on a Machine Learning approach, our solution is capable of predicting the user mobility patterns, and receiver orientation angles and accordingly optimizing parameters leading to a near-optimal result under different blockage conditions with low computational complexity. Moreover, a comparison with other approaches shows the effectiveness of the proposed solution in terms of significantly reducing the transmit power in a wide range of orientation errors. Specifically, up to 50% of the average transmit power can be minimized using the presented approach.

We investigate Wireless Powered Multi-Relay Networks (WPRNs) equipped with multiple antennas both at the Source and the Relay and propose two different communication schemes. These schemes are based on the combination of Time Switching (TS) and Self-Energy Recycling (SER) and extend existing ones that have been developed for single-antenna sources. Following that, by adopting only the very generic assumption that the Energy Harvesting Model (EHM) is described by any non-decreasing function, we focus on the instantaneous rate maximization problem and design near-optimal beamforming and wireless power transfer-time determination algorithms for our schemes. A common characteristic of the presented algorithms is their low complexity and implementation simplicity. Given the generality of our EHM assumptions, our algorithms are applicable for all popular EHMs found in the literature, which are normally described using non-decreasing functions, without being specific to any of them. Various simulation results are presented that allow to evaluate the two schemes and compare them with existing benchmarks for different popular EHMs and relay availability scenarios. Finally, we bound the suboptimality of our solutions and verify their near-optimal performance for different EHMs.

In this study, secrecy performance for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relaying multi-antenna satellite-terrestrial simultaneous wireless information and power transfer systems with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is investigated. Specifically, a multi-antenna satellite communicates with two multi-antenna terrestrial NOMA users via a UAV relay under the wiretapping of a multi-antenna eavesdropper, which is randomly distributed. In addition, a maximum ratio transmission scheme is adopted at the satellite to transmit the information, and both a maximum ratio combining and a power splitting schemes are taken into account to process the multiple copies of the received signals. Considering the satellite channel is subject to the Shadowed-Rician distribution and the terrestrial channels are with Nakagami- ${m}$
