UV LED array based NLOS UV turbulence channel modeling and experimental verification.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we comprehensively study the NLOV UV turbulence effect through simulated and experimental results. A Monte Carlo NLOS UV turbulence channel model, which incorporates the effects of multiple scattering and turbulence attenuation, is proposed based on previous work. To validate this model, a series of outdoor experiments is conducted to investigate the received-signal energy distribution and channel path loss under the turbulence circumstance for the first time. These experimental and simulated results are valuable for studying NLOS UV channel and communication system design.
