Monte Carlo Simulation in OWC

This course provides an in-depth understanding of Monte Carlo simulation techniques as applied to optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. By leveraging statistical methods, Monte Carlo simulations allow for realistic modeling of various environmental and physical effects, such as turbulence, attenuation, pointing errors, and atmospheric disturbances.
