Abstract
The performance of multipulse pulse-position modulation (MPPM) in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ultraviolet communications (UVC) with output signals of detectors following Poisson distribution and Poisson-triggered Gaussian (PTG) distribution has been investigated. Specifically, the probabilities of a given number of incorrectly identified pulsed or empty slots in an MPPM symbol have been derived with output signals Poisson and PTG distributed. Based on those probabilities, the expressions of symbol-error rate and achievable data rate of MPPM in the NLOS UVC systems have been further obtained. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results.
