Abstract
Since Visible Light Communication (VLC) is significantly affected by dynamic channel variations and outdated Channel State Information (CSI), traditional resource allocation methods for heterogeneous VLC/RF systems face challenges in optimizing Energy Efficiency (EE) under such dynamic conditions. To address this issue, this paper proposes a channel estimation method combining Kalman filtering and Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE), enabling more accurate estimation of the VLC channel. Based on the channel estimation, we design a Distributed Iterative Joint Channel and Power Optimization (DIJCPO) algorithm for RF/VLC heterogeneous communication systems to maximize EE under dynamic channel conditions. Simulation results demonstrate that the EE performance of the proposed method significantly outperforms that of the comparison algorithms in both curved and straight road scenarios. Moreover, an optimal turning radius further enhances system EE, offering a novel solution for EE optimization in heterogeneous vehicular communication systems.
