Improving Packet Delivery Ratio through Duty Cycle Control in Heterogeneous Visible Light Communication

The use of IEEE 802.15.7 for Heterogeneous Visible Light Communication (VLC) has garnered significant attention due to the expanding application area of Optical Body Area Networks (OBAN). However, lowering the packet delivery ratio has been shown in earlier research to be an effective way to cut end-device energy use. This paper presents an approach to enhance the packet delivery ratio in OBAN heterogeneous based on VLC systems. The suggested method considers store overflow when modifying the duty cycle within the IEEE 802.15.7 beacon-enabled mode. The outcomes of the simulation confirm this method's efficacy.
