Electrical & Electronics Engineering Advanced Transmission Techniques for Next Generation Terrestrial Wireless Optical Communications ABSTRACT This research project will introduce innovative advanced physical-layer techniques for next generation wireless optical communication (WOC) systems along with optimized front-end receivers. It will further present WOC link measurement data collected first time in Qatar made possible through the planned experimental set-up in this project. This project will establish a unique research capability which would highly contribute to Qatar scientific excellence in the area of telecommunications. Besides advancing state-of-the-art in the WOC field, it also has the potential to produce patents and products directly useful to the local ICT industry. Local companies such as Qtel and Qatar Vodafone might possibly consider the deployment of terrestrial WOC links which would be particularly appealing in the desert environment with the readily available line-of-sight.
