    abstract = "During the European collaborative project OMEGA, two optical-wireless
prototypes have been developed. The first prototype operates in the
near-infrared spectral region and features Giga Ethernet connectivity, a
simple transceiver architecture due to the use of on-off keying, a
multi-sector transceiver, and an ultra-fast switch for sector-to-sector
hand over. This full-duplex system, composed by one base station and one
module, transmits data on three meters.
The second prototype is a visible-light-communications system based on
DMT signal processing and an adapted MAC sublayer. Data rates around to
100 Mb/s at the physical layer are achieved. This broadcast system,
composed also by one base station and one module, transmits data up to
two meters.
In this paper we present the adapted optical wireless
media-access-control sublayer protocol for visible-light communications.
This protocol accommodates link adaptation from 128 Mb/s to 1024 Mb/s
with multi-sector coverage, and half-duplex or full-duplex transmission."
