Further, the control unit 30 generates transmission data and outputs it to the driving unit 23.

とができる。When the reception light level is low, the transmission light level is increased, and when the reception light level is high, the transmission light level is decreased. For this reason, when the fixed station outputs a constant light, the mobile station considers that the distance to the fixed station is long when the received light level is low, and conversely, when the received light level is high, the mobile station By considering that the distance is short, the transmission light level is increased when the distance is long, and the transmission light level is reduced when the distance is short, thereby lowering the temperature rise of the light emitting device such as LED and extending the life.

きる。When the received light level is extremely low, the present embodiment assumes that the light level is 0.75 uW / cm2 or less. However, since the distance is long, even if the transmitted light level is maximized, the optical signal from the mobile station is not transmitted. There may be cases where reception is not possible at the fixed station. In such a case, there is a high possibility that the output from the mobile station will be wasted, and the life of the electronic component such as the LED will be unnecessarily shortened. Further, in a system in which half-duplex communication is performed, reception cannot be performed during the transmission period, so that the useless transmission is not performed so that the reception can be performed during that period, and the amount of received data can be increased.

る。When the error rate measured by the error rate measuring section 32 is low, the transmission light level is increased, and when the error rate is high, the transmission light level is decreased. For this reason, when the fixed station outputs a constant light, when the error rate is low at the mobile station, it is considered that the distance to the fixed station is long. Conversely, when the error rate is good, the distance to the fixed station is small. By considering the distance to be short, the transmission light level is increased when the distance is long, and the transmission light level is decreased when the distance is short, thereby lowering the temperature rise of the device of the light emitting unit such as the LED to extend the life. be able to.
