Abstract
A fiber enabled optical wireless communication (FE-OWC) system and method is provided. An optical antenna composed of an optical fiber transceiving port array and a lens or a reflecting mirror is used to generate optical beams in different directions, such that full-beam coverage of a communication area is implemented. The optical antenna is connected to an optical chain by an optical fiber, the optical chain realizes mutual conversion of an optical signal and an electrical signal, and a baseband signal processing unit which is in electrical signal connection with the optical chain realizes user scheduling, transceiving signal processing, etc. Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) or massive MIMO or beam division multiple access optical wireless communication between a base station and user terminals is implemented by using the optical beams. The FE-OWC system and method may support ultra-high-rate user data transmission and system throughput, and have a low complexity.
