Modified Monte Carlo scheme for high-efficiency simulation of the impulse response on diffuse IR wireless indoor channels

Abstract

A modified Monte Carlo method to calculate multipath dispersion due to wall reflections on indoor wireless diffuse optical channels is presented. As with other Monte Carlo methods, it allows evaluation of not only the Lambertian but also specular reflections and can be used to validate previous simulation schemes. The main difference is that for each ray traced and for each rebound, a contribution to the receiver is calculated. This leads to a faster and more accurate simulation.
