This study presents a methodology designed to optimize various parameters of each access point within a Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The primary objective is to enhance both power and spectral efficiencies. A MISO-VLC model is presented based on experimental evaluations and a problem formulation considering intermodulation distortions based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing modulation. A Hybrid Multi-Objective Optimization (HMO) approach is proposed, combining the Non-Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III) and the Multi-objective Grey Wolf Optimization (MOGWO). The proposed HMO's success was validated by a 66 % reduction in transmitted power, maintaining the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) performance metrics even at lower power transmission levels and minimizing the guard band to its lower bound.
In this paper I describe the ways in which the communication discipline can make a hidden crisis transparent. For this purpose I examine the concept of crisis entrepreneurship from a communication point of view. Using discourse analysis, I analyse the discursive practices of crisis entrepreneurs in the domain of education in the Netherlands. This paper is part of my Ph.D. project in which I examine the dilemmas encountered by crisis entrepreneurs and the interactional solutions they choose in addressing a crisis. In my Ph.D. project I have analysed how crisis entrepreneurs use discursive practices: (1) to show the factuality of the problem. For example, the way the problem is presented is too theoretical and is not a problem in reality; (2) to present the credibility of the messenger as an authentic, legitimate spokesman. Crisis entrepreneurs may be accused of wanting to attract attention to their own cause; (3) to create the accountability for the problem and the solution. For example, crisis entrepreneurs can be accused of nursing personal grievances or of drawing attention to the issue without actively attempting to solve it. The conclusion is that a communication professional is able to recognize a problem raised by crisis entrepreneurs. Knowledge of interactional dilemmas helps communication professionals understand the potential of crisis entrepreneurs.
