Characterization and Modeling of Visible Light Communication Channels
Fri, 13/05/2016 - 14:30 to 15:30
Location:
Speaker:
Ahmed Al-Kinani
Affiliation:
Heriot-Watt University
Synopsis:
Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems utilize wavelengths in the infrared (IR) spectrum for IR communication (IRC) and the visible light (VL) spectrum for visible light communication (VLC). Having the ability to provide illumination and wireless broadband communication simultaneously, VLC, has been identified as one of the robust solutions towards networked indoor wireless communication systems. For the sake of the VLC system design and performance evaluation, it is indispensable to develop accurate and efficient channel model. This talk will cover the existing and the new developed VLC channel models.
