    Abstract

    This paper investigates the effectiveness of angle diversity technology-based vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) visible light communication (VLC) system designed for a multi-lane road scenario. Cars use their headlights to transmit signals to a traffic light pole, which is equipped with an angle diversity receiver (ADR) comprising three photodetectors (PD) arranged in different directions to improve signal reception from various directions. We utilize an advanced ray tracing channel modeling approach and investigate the impact of the number of PDs and the elevation angles on the received power. Additionally, we conduct a comprehensive performance analysis in terms of capacity, considering different car positions along the road. The results demonstrate that the V2I-VLC system with ADR achieves a channel capacity of over 2.5 Mb/s at a transmission distance of 50 meters, highlighting its potential to enhance V2I-VLC connectivity.
