Optical mobile communications: Principles and challenges

摘要

Optical wireless communication (OWC) is position sensitive and deemed not suitable for ultra-high throughput mobile communications. In this paper, we propose an optical mobile communication (OMC) system, which dynamically allocates optical beams to mobile users and tracks the users adaptively, thus extends OWC to mobile scenarios. Principles of OMC is introduced and several key design problems are discussed.
