Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel indoor optical wireless system for personal area networks based on MEMS mirrors and image sensors. The tracking system allows full user mobility and the directed link configuration guarantees high bit rates and energy efficiency due to the narrow beams. We make a simple simulation to analyze the bit error rate in dependence on the received power and beam spot size.
