APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR EXCHANGING DATA IN A HYBRID OPTICAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

In an optical wireless communication, OWC, system, an apparatus (200) is configured to operate in a first mode to enable a first functionality where the apparatus acts as a bridge device between an OWC access point (400) and a first end device out of one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d),...

Summary:In an optical wireless communication, OWC, system, an apparatus (200) is configured to operate in a first mode to enable a first functionality where the apparatus acts as a bridge device between an OWC access point (400) and a first end device out of one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d), or in a second mode to enable a second functionality where the apparatus relays data between the first end device and a second end device out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d). The apparatus (200) communicates with the OWC access point (400) by means of a first type of optical wireless link (450) using a first modulation scheme; and communicates with the first end device by means of a second type of optical wireless link (350) using a second modulation scheme. The first type of optical wireless link (450) has a wider beam angle than the second type of optical wireless link (350).
