Interference Mitigation for Indoor Optical Attocell Networks Using an Angle Diversity Receiver

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

In this paper, interference mitigation techniques based on angle diversity receivers (ADRs) are studied for optical attocell networks. Consisting of multiple photodiodes (PDs), an ADR requires appropriate signal combining schemes in order to mitigate intercell interference (ICI) in optical attocell networks. Four signal combining schemes, namely select best combining, equal gain combining, maximum ratio combining, and optimum combining are investigated. To further mitigate ICI, a novel double-source cell configuration with two transmission modes is also proposed. Results show that the systems with ADRs significantly outperform those with single-PD receivers in terms of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Also, compared to the conventional single-source cell configuration, the double-source cell configuration can provide an SINR improvement of over $\text{20}$ dB. Furthermore, an analytical framework is proposed to analyze the performance of optical attocell networks with ADRs, where different propagation scenarios such as line-of-sight and nonline-of-sight are considered. The accuracy of the proposed analytical model is validated by Monte Carlo simulations.
