Description
Summary:In this paper, we study an Optical Wireless Communication system for indoor healthcare monitoring application, taking into account the impact of indoor environment. We consider a diffuse link between an emitter placed on a mobile monitored patient and a base station located on the ceiling considering a one-bounce model. Thanks to Ray Propagation Simulator (RaPSor) developed at the Xlim-SIC laboratory, wall, floor and ceiling reflections are taken into account so that the system is more accurately designed, even for low data rates. This is of main concern for healthcare application because it is important to evaluate the required emitter power, related to the power autonomy of monitoring system.
