| Abstract | Modulation techniques have attracted increasing attention in optical wireless communications. Basic schemes such as on off keying (OOK), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse position modulation (PPM) have been validated as suitable for the optical wireless channel. This paper starts from the analysis of these three modulation schemes in terms of their power and bandwidth requirements. As a result, a new tunable hybrid modulation technique is proposed. The proposed modulation scheme takes the real time channel conditions into account, which is different from other schemes. By employing amplitude and position modulation selectively, a guaranteed system performance can be secured, without compromising power and bandwidth efficiency. This is also a new approach to realize reliable optical wireless links. |
