Abstract:

To provide high-quality communication in the indoor generalized space shift keying (GSSK) aided visible light communications (VLC) downlink transmission, especially when the line-of-sight (LoS) link is blocked, a metasurface aided intelligent reflecting surfaces (mIRS) scheme is proposed. By controlling the reflection characteristics of incident light in a deliberate manner provided in this paper, the proposed mIRS-assisted indoor GSSK-VLC downlink can significantly enhance the signal quality at the receiver end. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood (ML) and efficient preprocessing enabled sparsity orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) detectors are respectively presented for the considered system. Finally, simulations are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed mIRS-assisted indoor GSSK-VLC downlink transmission.
