Abstract

Multiple-pulse position modulation (MPPM) is an advanced modulation method for optical wireless communication (OWC), which could provide better performance when channel information is not available. We consider the evaluation of a symbol error rate (SER) expression for MPPM applied within OWC. In the proposed model, MPPM is realized by spectral-amplitude coding (SAC) with non-uniform spectral slot energies. The derived fading channel SER expression is applicable for an arbitrary fading distribution, which may be due to either atmospheric turbulence or transceiver pointing error. A detailed theoretical analysis of the SER is provided and the resulting SER expression is verified by simulation.
