Two-channel MIMO-OCC transmission system on a smartphone

The possibility of using MIMO technique for purpose of increasing information capacity of optical camera communication systems (OCC) has been experimentally proved in regard to a smartphone used as a receiver. Among others, a successful 2-channel transmission at a distance longer than 4 m has been presented. By use of traditional modulation schemes the throughputs which can be achieved in the OCC systems are typically only a few dozen bits per second. The MIMO is promising technique to overcome this limitation.
