Abstract

Visible Light Communication (VLC) offers a promising solution to satisfy the increasing demand for wireless data. However, link blockages remain a significant challenge. This paper addresses this issue by investigating the combined use of angle diversity receivers (ADRs) and optical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (ORISs) in multiuser VLC systems. We consider ORIS elements as small movable mirrors. We demonstrate the complementarity of ADR and ORIS in mitigating link blockages, as well as the advantages of using a larger number of ORIS elements due to the increased field-of-view (FoV) at the receiver enabled by the ADR. An optimization algorithm is proposed to maximize the minimum signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) to deploy a fair communication network. Numerical results show that integrating ADR and ORIS significantly enhances VLC communication performance, achieving an SNR gain of up to 30 dB compared to a system without ORIS, and mitigating communication outages produced by link blockages or out-of-FoV received signals. We also prove that an ADR with a single tier of photodiodes is sufficient to complement ORIS-assisted VLC.

Constrained Parameter Update Law for Adaptive Control

In this paper, constrained parameter update laws for adaptive control are developed using barrier constraints. An interpretation of the parameter update law from a constrained optimization problem, in which a regularized Barrier saddle function is formulated to incorporate parameter constraints using inverse and logarithmic barrier functions from interior-point methods. The resulting constrained update law is integrated with an adaptive trajectory tracking controller, enabling online learning of the unknown system model parameters. Forward invariance of the parameter estimate is established and Lyapunov stability of the closed-loop system with the constrained parameter update law is derived. The effectiveness of the proposed constrained adaptive control law is demonstrated through simulations, which validate its ability to maintain parameter estimates within prescribed bounds while ensuring convergence to the true parameter values and achieving steady state tracking performance.

Blockage-Aware Multi-RIS Sensing and Optimization for mmWave Smart Radio Environments

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-user MIMO systems are highly vulnerable to blockage, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have been proposed as a remedy. However, RIS links may themselves be blocked, while most prior works assume ideal RIS availability. We propose an end-to-end blockage-aware multi-RIS weighted sum-rate (WSR) optimization framework. The BS transmits short per-RIS indexed synchronization signals, enabling each user to identify blocked panels through a simple energy detection test. Based on the detected feasible sets, we jointly optimize the BS precoder and RIS phases via a Closed-form Riemannian Phase Alignment (CRPA) algorithm. CRPA provides unit-modulus-preserving closed-form updates, requiring no projection or line search, and ensures monotone ascent. Simulations validate reliable blockage detection and notable WSR and convergence gains over existing baselines.
