متن يادداشت

This book focuses on optical wireless communications )OWC(, an emerging technology with huge potential for the provision of pervasive and reliable next-generation communications networks. It shows how the development of novel and efficient wireless technologies can contribute to a range of transmission links essential for the heterogeneous networks of the future to support various communications services and traffic patterns with ever-increasing demands for higher data-transfer rates. The book starts with a chapter reviewing the OWC field, which explains different sub-technologies )visible-light, ultraviolet )UV( and infrared )IR( communications( and introduces the spectrum of application areas )indoor, vehicular, terrestrial, underwater, intersatellite, deep space, etc.(. This provides readers with the necessary background information to understand the specialist material in the main body of the book, which is in four parts. The first of these deals with propagation modelling and channel characterization of OWC channels at different spectral bands and with different applications. The second starts by providing a unified information-theoretic treatment of OWC and then discusses advanced physical-layer methodologies )including, but not limited to: advanced coding, modulation diversity, cooperation and multi-carrier techniques( and the ultimate limitations imposed by practical constraints. On top of the physical layer come the upper-layer protocols and cross-layer designs that are the subject of the third part of the book. The last part of the book features a chapter-by-chapter assessment of selected OWC applications. Optical Wireless Communications is a valuable reference guide for academic researchers and practitioners concerned with the future development of the world s communication networks. It succinctly but comprehensively presents the latest advances in the field.
