Περίληψη:
As a part of the EU-FP7 R&D programme. the OMEGA project (hOME Gigabit
Access) anus at bridging the gap between mobile broadband terminals and
the wired backbone network in homes. To provide Gb/s connectivity a
combination of various technologies is considered. Beside radio
frequencies, the wireless links will use infrared and visible light.
Combined with power-line communications this enables a home area network
(HAN) that meets the vision of broadband home networking, ‘without new
wires’. A technology-independent MAC layer is foreseen to control Such
network and to provide services as well as connectivity to any device
the User wishes to connect. Moreover, this MAC layer should allow the
service to follow the User from device to device in any room of a
building/apartment.
The contribution presents ideas and approaches for broadband optical
wireless (OW) communications Using infrared Gb/s hotspots and 100 Mb/s
information broadcasting by means of interior lighting based on
white-light LEDs. Important issues concerning the physical layer are
discussed.
