Abstract

Multiple-input-multiple-output systems provide a potential approach for achieving high communication capacities in optical wireless. A small amount of publications based on different scenarios are available. The current work will illustrate that a very good distribution of communication capacity can be achieved for certain configurations. In particular, we look at angle diversity receivers which are able to successfully identify transmitter directions. The investigated scenarios include 4x4 and 16x16 multiple-input-multiple-output configurations.
