Examination of Optical Power Distribution in Indoor Optical Networks

Abstract

In this study, the power distribution problem in the indoor wireless local area network has been studied. Optical power distribution produced by multiple light sources in an office or a shop was examined. It has been worked on the effects affecting the power distribution such as patterns of the light source and number of transmitter. As a function of the room size, number of transmitters and transmitter positions were calculated. To be able to do this, a computer program was prepared and the simulation was performed. Simulation approach was used to achieve the uniformity of the power distribution. As a result, it has been understood that the best power distribution is achieved by placing optical sources as the square like grids on the ceiling of the room.
