Abstract:Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems can exhibit high percentage availability, yet suffering from frequent intensity fades caused by turbulence effects and pointing errors. The intuitive method to character the link is using commercial bit error rate testers (BERT) by measuring the output sequence of the receiver, which provides limited information. Thus we propose the algorithms for measuring the outage and synchronization performance, bit error rate (BER), throughput, and fading statistics. The input… Show more
