چکیده
Optical wireless communication (OWC) technologies have been discussed and evaluated in a wide range of application scenarios, which is drawing increasing interest to keep pace with the growth in LED technologies. OWC has unique advantages to provide safe, secure, low-cost, and high-bandwidth communications. As a compensation for the existing radio frequency communications, OWC has huge potentials to be used for distributed applications from indoor to outdoor, from atmosphere to ground and underwater. In this paper, we conduct a brief survey of the most recent advances and research activities in OWC. We study the advantages and potential applications of OWC, and provide an overview of the techniques used to achieve OWC system.Some potential future research directions for OWC are also discussed.

متن کاملIndoor Non-directed Optical Wireless Communications - Optimization of the Lambertian Order
For an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (NLOS-OWC) system we investigate the optimized Lambertian order (OLO) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We firstly derive an expression for the OLO from a conventional Lambertian LED model. Then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell NLOS-OWC channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...

متن کاملPhysical-layer network coding: Tutorial, survey, and beyond
The concept of physical-layer network coding (PNC) was proposed in 2006 for application in wireless networks. Since then it has developed into a subfield of network coding with wide followings. The basic idea of PNC is to exploit the network coding operation that occurs naturally when electromagnetic (EM) waves are superimposed on one another. This simple idea turns out to have profound and fun...
