- Abstract
Photon counting has been proven to possess excellent signal detection capabilities at low power levels and has extensive potential applications in sixth-generation (6G) communications. However, the inherent dependency between the signal and noise complicates system analysis, and optimizing achievable rates in photon-counting visible light communication (VLC) systems remains unresolved. This paper introduces a new method aimed at minimizing multi-user interference (MUI) through a zero-forcing (ZF) scheme and maximizing the weighted sum rate of the proposed downlink multi-user photon-counting multiple-input multiple-output (MU-PhC-MIMO) VLC system by solving an optimization problem. The key point lies in our utilization of the ZF approach to derive a reasonable asymptotic approximation expression for the weighted sum rate. Subsequently, we use variable substitution and methods like successive convex approximation (SCA) to iteratively convexify the non-convex optimization problem and maximize the weighted sum rate under the ZF form. Compared to other algorithms, this approach can save 2.5 dB of transmission power to achieve the same system-weighted sum rate and significantly outperforms the repetition coding scheme at sufficient transmission power.
