- This paper considered secrecy enhancement mechanisms for visible light communication (VLC) indoor networks with spatially distributed passive eavesdroppers. Beamforming and LED selection schemes were utilised to improve secrecy performance. The work provided useful insight and analytical tools to develop adaptive system security solutions. The proposed scheme will enhance secrecy performance in Beyond 5G indoor communications. The research impacts significantly on the design of relay-aided secure broadcasting for VLC (H. Vincent Poor, FIEEE, published in IEEE TC). Its success underpinned a successful EU Horizon 2020 proposal in Bring Reinforcement-learning into radio Light Network for Massive Connections (€5.7m, ICT-52-2020-RIA).
