Abstract

The study of indoor optical wireless (OW) environment is complicated by the difficulty of obtaining accurate impulse response for a large number of transmitter/receiver locations. An accurate impulse response for a given receiver location requires not only direct path, but also reflections up to nth order. The impulse response obtained is only valid for a specific location and for specific receiver parameters. If a receiver moves, the impulse response has to be recalculated. In this paper, we utilize an efficient approach for calculating optical wireless channel to study the optimal region of transmitters and receivers in a multi spot diffusing configuration. This paper takes advantage of an efficient calculation technique to study the optimal layout of receiver locations and transmitter locations in multi spot diffusing environment. Received power and delay spread are used as metrics to optimize receiver and transmitter layouts.
