Abstract

The coherence distance (CD) is the spatial distance over which the channel does not change appreciably. It is a common and important wireless communication channel parameter. While adoption of this parameter in the realm of radio-frequency is well established, it is a less familiar concept in the realm of optical wireless communication (OWC), where it can be beneficial as a measure for spatial optical channel changes. In this Letter, the average CD is proposed as a metric to characterize indoor OWC channels and a method for its evaluation is outlined.
