Adaptive mobile spot diffusing angle diversity MC-CDMA optical wireless system in a real indoor environment

In this paper, we introduce a mobile optical wireless (OW) multicarrier - code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system that employs a new adaptive line strip multibeam system (ALSMS) with diversity detection. Our results indicate that a significant improvement in the bit error rate (BER) can be obtained in the presence of very directive noise, multipath propagation and shadowing typical in a real indoor environment. With transmitter and/or receiver mobility, ALSMS can improve the BER performance by almost 10
^-5
with 2 active users, and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by more than 13 dB compared to the unadaptive LSMS.
