Partner search: -ITN- VIsual directional SUpport in massive opticAL Wireless communications for Internet-of-Things

We find nowadays a strenuous effort to exploit the higher frequency spectrum, specially in the context of mmWave communications, with the aim to overcome the problems of spectrum scarcity. Some of the main challenges posed by mmWave are not at all different from the ones we encounter in optical wireless communications (OWC): higher directivity that only enables the exploitation of LoS links, and signal blockage by any obstacle present in its pathway. In this sense, OWC can also offer distinctive advantages, such as the availability of higher bandwidth and the absence of spectrum regulation.…
