Issue 3: Multipath induced ISI<br />

Diffuse Links offers<br />

Robustness <strong>to</strong> blocking and shadowing<br />

Allows roaming<br />

Avoid complex alignment and tracking<br />

between transmitter and receiver<br />

Challenges<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

For most surfaces, the light wave is<br />

diffusely reflected (as from a matter<br />

surface) rather than specularly reflected<br />

(as from a mirrored surface).<br />

Pulse spreading beyond symbol duration.<br />

High inter-symbol interference (ISI).<br />

Low data rate and high power penalty.<br />
