Networked Optical Massive MIMO Communications
IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications(2020)
摘要
The low cost and versatility of optical devices make it possible to pack a large number of optical transceivers into arrays and exploit massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission in optical wireless communications. Nevertheless, optical massive MIMO presents several distinct challenges such as, the line-of-sight propagation and intensity modulation, incompatible with existing radio frequency massive MIMO techniques. This paper presents a networked optical massive MIMO system that consists of multiple base stations (BSs), each equipped with a transmit lens and an optical transmitter array, cooperatively serving a number of user terminals (UTs), each equipped with a receive lens and a photodetector array. We establish the optical massive MIMO channel model, analyze its asymptotic behavior, and evaluate the potential of networked optical massive MIMO on system throughput improvement. To achieve high throughput, we propose optical beam division multiple access (BDMA) transmission schemes under the total and per transmitter power constraints with the asymptotic optimality. Our results show that the system sum rate increases proportionally to the number of BSs and UTs using the optical BDMA transmission. Further numerical results show that the proposed optical massive MIMO system along with the optical BDMA transmission is able to achieve high throughput with low complexity.
