Abstract: A method coordinates access points having coverage areas each subdivided into an exclusive sub-area supplemented by an interference sub-area where they overlap and forming part of an optical wireless network. The method includes a procedure including, for each time channel, a first sub-procedure wherein each interface device located in an exclusive sub-area of an access point is allocated an authorized free time slot in the time channel, a second sub-procedure wherein, as long as there remains an interface device without an allocated time slot in an interference sub-area, for each free time slot: a set of interface devices compatible with it is determined, if this set is not empty, an interface device is allocated this free time slot which is compatible with an available access point according to a chosen heuristic, otherwise the time slot is not free, the second sub-step is performed again.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device equips an access point of an optical wireless communication system and includes a transmitting optoelectronic module converting a digital signal into a light signal to be transmitted, a receiving optoelectronic module converting a received light signal into a digital signal, a control module controlling the transmitting optoelectronic module and the receiving optoelectronic module, and a power supply module supplying the transmitting optoelectronic module with a current selected by the control module, and the receiving optoelectronic module and the control module with voltages selected by the control module.
