Dynamic Resource Allocation Algorithm for Vehicle-to-Vehicle 6G Visible Light Communication
The intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including autonomous driving technologies, have increased the need for a capable communication system. The optical domain offers a promising spectrum for supporting multi-connection and high-data-rate applications. This paper proposes a dynamic resource allocation algorithm for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) 6G visible light communication (VLC) systems. A wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) method is utilized as a technique for supporting multiple connections. Two optimization objectives of the resource allocation are evaluated, which are referred to as Max SNR and Max spectral efficiency (SE) objectives. The best resource assignment for each vehicle is obtained by using the optimized resource allocation model. Five scenarios are examined where vehicles are moved in this work. The Max SE objective shows a fair allocation of resources based on the SNR compared to the Max SNR objective. In addition, a dynamic algorithm is developed for real-time solutions. The proposed dynamic algorithm can provide suboptimal resource allocation at 0.001 s, whereas the Max SE MILP model provides the optimal resource allocation in around 1 min. Thus, the proposed dynamic scheme can be used in real-time applications.
