Abstract
This paper investigates the performance of secrecy capacity in infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) visible light communication (VLC) networks, with a focus on a specific scenario where a platoon of vehicles is traveling in the right-lane of the road and receiving critical information and safety messages from traffic lights at intersections. However, these transmitted signals are vulnerable to interception by eavesdropping vehicles, posing a threat to network security and safety. To address this concern, we employ realistic I2V channel modeling and analyze the secrecy capacity of the VLC system in various scenarios. We also explore the potential of using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to enhance security in the I2V-VLC platoon system and investigate the impact of different system parameters on the system's secrecy performance. Our simulation results demonstrate that employing NOMA concept can enhance the system's security.
