A simulation model for the traditional Costas Loop is presented, along with performance results, which demonstrate the system's ability to synchronise with pull-in and lock ranges of ±800 and ±900 Hz, respectively. The loop requires 1.194 ms to be in the locked state, allowing the system to lock within 6 symbols period. In addition, the authors measured the performance of the system in the presence of noise and interference from other modulated bands. The results showed that noise and interference did not degrade the system's performance.

To mitigate the effect of the eavesdropper, we derive the optimal beamforming coefficients which are used at the transmitter LED array with the aim of maximising the signal-to-noise ratio at the LU.

Then, for a general fairness-scheduling utility function with the capability of adjusting the degree of fairness known as <i>α</i>-proportional fairness, optimal time-sharing coefficients are analytically derived in closed-forms. To compare the performance of the IR-based communications for the LED-based APs, two non-cooperative and cooperative data transmission schemes are also studied and the corresponding achievable rates are presented based on the classical superposition coding. Finally, to compare the performance of the two types of APs, per user data rate of the proposed systems are compared through numerical results for different scenarios to highlight advantages and drawbacks of the two types of APs.
