Abstract:
The ever-increasing demand for broadband services by end-user devices utilising 3G/4G/LTE and the projected 5G in the last mile will require sustaining broadband supply from fibre-linked terminals. The eventual outcome of the high demand for broadband is strained optical and electronic devices. The backbone optical fibre transport systems and techniques such as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), higher modulation formats, coherent detection and signal amplification have increased both fibre capacity and spectrum efficiency.

Optical wireless communication technologies for free-space optical (FSO) transmission, distribution, and reception have numerous potential benefits.

The distortion of optical signals has long been an issue limiting the performance of communication systems. With the increase of transmission speeds the effects of distortion are becoming more prominent.

Applying DSP to improve optical signals has been limited by a discrepancy in digital signal processing speeds and optical transmission speeds. However high speed Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) which are sufficiently fast have now become available making DSP experim

Abstract:
Visible-light optical wireless communications (OWC) is a potential technology that can help resolve the crowdedness of the radio-frequency bands, whilst conveniently exploiting energy-saving light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as transmitters for both illumination and communications. Since there usually are many LEDs in a lighting unit, OWC has a multi- input multi-output (MIMO) geometry which, thanks to its channel diversity, can offer wireless local networks at data-rates many times higher than possible with single-channel systems. In such systems, MIMO-detection methods to separate the different o
