| description | As a part of the EU-FP7 RandD programme, the OMEGA project (hOME Gigabit Access) aims at bridging the gap between mobile broadband terminals and the wired backbone network in homes. To provide Gb/s connectivity a combination of various technologies is considered. Beside radio frequencies, the wireless links will use infrared and visible light. Combined with power-line communications this enables a home area network (HAN) that meets the vision of broadband home networking 'without new wires'. A technology-independent MAC layer is foreseen to control such network and to provide services as well as connectivity to any device the user wishes to connect. Moreover, this MAC layer should allow the service to follow the user from device to device in any room of a building /apartment. The contribution presents ideas and approaches for broadband optical wireless (OW) communications using infrared Gb/s hotspots and 100 Mb/s information broadcasting by means of interior lighting based on white-light LEDs. Important issues concerning the physical layer are discussed. ©2008 IEEE. |
