Optimal LED placement in indoor VLC networks
In the upcoming 5G systems, the use of optical attocells will be largely exploited, with the aim of extending connectivity to multiple users while reducing coverage holes in indoor environments. The deployment of light emitting diodes (LEDs) should be well considered in order to use the optimal number of attocells to guarantee both illumination and connectivity, as a large and unnecessary number of attocells in a room is not useful and can cause interference among neighboring lighting cells.
