Abstract

Networks of sensors are an emerging technology for real-time data gathering in a wide variety of civilian and military applications. Sensor networks comprise a large number of miniature nodes with sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities and are randomly deployed in an area or volume of interest that may be remote or hazardous especially in defense applications. Using optical wireless communication (OWC) a population of sensor nodes can be located and mapped and encoded data can be transmitted to the base station. In this paper we review some theoretical and experimental work in this area and underline some of the challenges and possible solutions.
