  • To propose and evaluate a sub-pixel architecture as a viable solution to mitigate atmospheric impairments in outdoor OCC.
  • To assess the suitability of sub-pixel OCC for WSNs considering data throughput, spatial division, and cost-effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental study of various optical camera communications (OCC) equipment in both laboratory and field settings.
  • Development and testing of a novel sub-pixel architecture for projecting multiple transmitters onto a receiver.
  • Evaluation of camera capabilities in overcoming signal attenuation caused by diverse atmospheric conditions.

Main Results:

  • The sub-pixel architecture demonstrates significant potential for outdoor wireless sensor networks (WSN) applications.
  • Sub-pixel OCC effectively overcomes attenuation from rain, turbulence, and aerosols, maintaining reliable communication.
  • The proposed system offers high data throughput, spatial division of sources, and cost-effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Sub-pixel optical camera communications (OCC) present a promising and practical solution for robust outdoor wireless sensor networks (WSN).
  • The re-use of camera equipment for communication, alongside video monitoring, enhances the utility and scalability of OCC.
  • This technology is particularly well-suited for WSN applications requiring reliable, cost-effective, and scalable wireless connectivity in adverse atmospheric conditions.
