Optimization of Surface Configuration in IRS-Aided MIMO-VLC: A BER Minimization Approach by Xin Zhong, Chen Chen, Wanli Wen, Min Liu, H. Y. Fu, Harald Haas

“…Due to its ability to reconfigure the optical channel, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has revealed its great potential for enhancing the performance of visible light communication (VLC) systems. In this paper, we apply a mirror array-based IRS in typical multiple-input multiple-output based VLC (MIMO-VLC) systems and optimize the IRS configuration to minimize the system bit error rate (BER). …”
