Monte Carlo Simulations in Optical Wireless Communication Systems and MATLAB Implementations

This technical training offers a practical and theoretical foundation in applying Monte Carlo simulation techniques to optical wireless communication (OWC) systems, with a focus on MATLAB-based implementations. Monte Carlo methods are powerful tools used to evaluate the performance of OWC systems under random effects such as turbulence, pointing error, scattering, and atmospheric or underwater variability. Participants will learn how to model system impairments, generate random processes, and evaluate key performance metrics such as bit error rate (BER), quantum bit error rate (QBER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and secret key rate (SKR). The training includes guided coding sessions to build reusable simulation frameworks, making it ideal for both research and industrial prototyping.
