  • Patent number: 8923705
    Abstract: One embodiment is a Poisson-based communication system. The system includes a receiver that comprises a photodetector that receives photons and generates pulses based on the received photons, a sampling event counter that counts the number of generated pulses by the photodetector and a demodulator. The demodulator samples the sampling event counter at predetermined time intervals to determine an occurrence of a first state when light pulse energy has been transmitted by a transmitter and received by the photodetector and an occurrence of a second state when light pulse energy has not been transmitted by the transmitter and received by the photodetector.
    Type: Grant
