Development of Python-MATLAB Interface Program for Optical Communication System Simulation

This paper reports on the results of a developing Python-MATLAB interface program to implement optical wireless communication system simulation. We implement Python interface for entering input values and simulation environment variables for MATLAB. We operate MATLAB to numerical computing process about communication system simulation to generate a signal, to approximate channel characteristics and to recover the signal. Python passes input data and environment variables to MATLAB and displays output data and graphs from the simulation after MATLAB numerical computing.
