Abstract

Abstract

VLC-WiFi (Visible Light Communication-Wireless Fidelity) heterogeneous networks are becoming a popular short-distance wireless communication solution. However, limited spectrum resources make it difficult for VLC-WiFi heterogeneous network to meet the rapidly growth for data bandwidth of user. Combined with the link transmission performance of the physical layer and the queue buffer delay performance of the media access control layer, an evaluation formula of dynamic link transmission performance and link Quality of Service (QoS) perception level are defined. According to the QoS requirements of data packets, the QoS-aware Cross-Layer Dynamic Resource Allocation (QoS-CLDRA) is proposed. Furthermore, the user matching and power allocation strategy based on non-orthogonal multiple access are designed to improve the system throughput. Simulation results show that the proposed QoS-CLDRA can effectively improve the system throughput and reduce the buffer queue length.
