The Effects of The Field of View and Reflections on the Optical Wireless Channel

In recent late the IEEE has scheduled the standardization group 802.15.7r1 ''Short Range Optical Wireless Communication'', which is currently in the treatment of expanding a standard for visible light communication (VLC) and aims to deliver peak data rates of 10 Gbits/s. As with any other communication system, processing the performances studies depend on a realistic channel model and its impulse response. Thus, it is a compulsory condition that the features of the channel are well understood to design and operate efficient optical communication shape. Lights are installed everywhere around us; in public places, houses, streets. Since lights represent a crucial part of our daily lives, I find it a mandatory condition to study the subject matter. In this paper, our main objective is to study the influence of both FOV(field-of-view) and the reflections on channel impulse response (CIR) with different path LOS (Line-Of-Sight) and NLOS(Non-Line-Of-Sight) using a room size of 4.0m x 4.0m x 2.5m with the transmitted optical power of a LED up to 1W.
