This book focuses on optical-wireless communication systems. It summarizes the author's optical-wireless communication coding work while carrying out pertinent scientific research programs. The primary topics covered in the book are channel coding, coding modulation, error control (channel coding), and channel equalization. The author's mathematical analysis and experimental studies on the key theoretical issues are discussed in the book. One of the book's outstanding aspects is its thorough and methodical discussion of practical optical-wireless communication challenges. This makes the book especially appealing to readers who are eager to learn about applicable solutions in this area. Researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the subject of telecommunications can all profit from the book. It is appropriate for senior undergraduates, lecturers at colleges and universities, graduate students, and engineering and technical workers involved in optical communication.
