TinyML enables autonomous fault detection in optical wireless communication

Researchers have developed an autonomous optical wireless communication receiver node that integrates a TinyML classification engine for real-time fault detection. This system, built around an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, can classify four distinct operational conditions with up to 74.68% accuracy using a quantized TensorFlow Lite Micro model. The on-device deployment demonstrates a practical approach for self-aware optical IoT nodes, reducing diagnostic latency compared to traditional cloud-based methods. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust and autonomous IoT devices by integrating real-time diagnostics directly onto edge hardware.

    Fault Detection and Bit-Error Rate Diagnostics in Optical Wireless Links Using Edge-AI

    arXiv:2610.21402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) systems provide high-bandwidth, spatially secure, and RF-interference-free digital transmission. However, direct free-space optical links suffer from extreme sensitivity to line-of-sight disrupti…
