Abstract

En 中文

Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems with multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have recently been benefited from the assistance of optical reflecting intelligent surface (ORIS) to support energy-limited devices via simultaneous lightweight information and power transfer (SLIPT). This article studies the application of rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) for effective interference management and enhancing the data rate of these systems. Regarding the considerable bandwidth of the OWC band and also considerable energy consumption of the multi-LED transmitter, we formulate an energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem to jointly optimize the system variables, including transmit beamforming, LED selection, rate adaptation and ORIS element association, while adhering to the system requirements. Accordingly, we propose a dynamic resource allocation mechanism, leveraging proximal policy optimization (PPO) to accommodate system dynamism and optimize its variables. Concerning the frequent obstruction of OWC Line-of-Sight (LoS) links and consequently swift system reconfiguration, we improve the adaptability and predictability of the PPO agent by integrating Meta-learning technique. Simulations reveal that the proposed Meta-PPO algorithm has superior performance compared to the PPO method in the presence of ORIS with 76% gain. Furthermore, employing an ORIS in the proposed system model improves the performance by 51% compared to a scenario without ORIS.
