Optimized Design of Joint Mirror Array and Liquid Crystal-Based RIS-Aided VLC Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Most studies of reflecting intelligent surfaces (RISs)-assisted visible light communication (VLC) systems have focused on the integration of RISs in the channel between the transmitter-receiver pair to combat the line-of-sight (LoS) blockage issue and to enhance the corresponding achievable data rate. Some recent efforts have investigated the integration of liquid crystal (LC)-RIS in the VLC receiver to also improve the corresponding achievable data rate. To jointly benefit from the previously mentioned appealing capabilities of the RIS technology in both the channel and the receiver, in this work, we propose a novel indoor VLC system that is jointly assisted by a mirror array-based RIS in the channel and an LC-based RIS aided-VLC receiver. To illustrate the performance of the proposed system, a rate maximization problem is formulated, solved, and evaluated for the proposed system. This maximization problem jointly optimizes the roll and yaw angles of the mirror array-based RIS as well as the refractive index of the LC-based RIS VLC receiver. Moreover, this maximization problem considers practical assumptions, such as the presence of non-users blockers in the LoS path between the transmitter and the receiver and the user's random device orientation (i.e., the user's self-blockage). Due to the non-convexity of the formulated multi-variate optimization problem, a low-complexity algorithm is utilized to get the global optimal solution. A multi-user scenario of the proposed scheme is also presented. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of the proposed system is also investigated. Simulation results are provided, confirming that the proposed system yields a noteworthy improvement in data rate and energy efficiency performances compared to several baseline schemes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
