Infrared wireless communication system

Abstract

The term wireless is normally used to refer to any type of electrical or electronic operation which is accomplished without the use of a "hard wired" connection. Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of electrical conductors or wires [1]. Wireless infrared communications refers to the use of free- space propagation of light waves in the near infrared band as a transmission medium for communication [2]. The communication can be between one portable communication device and another or between a portable device and a tethered device, called an access point or base station.
