    abstract = "The hOME Gigabit Access (OMEGA) home-area-network project aims at
bridging the gap between home and access network and providing Gb/s
connectivity to users. The project considers a combination of various
technologies such as radio-frequency and wireless optical links
operating at infrared and visible wavelengths. When combined with
power-line communications (PLC), this enables a home backbone that meets
the project’s “without new wires” vision.
A technology-independent MAC layer will control this network and provide
services as well as connectivity to any number of devices the user
wishes to connect to in any room of a house/apartment.
In order to make this vision come true, substantial progress had to be
achieved in the fields of optical wireless physical layer development
and data-link-layer protocol design.
This paper reports an experimental demonstration of an indoor
visible-light wireless link including a MAC layer protocol adapted to
optical wireless communications systems. The system operates at 84 Mb/s
broadcast and was successfully used to transmit three high-definition
video streams."
