The combination of wireless ultraviolet (UV) communication and mobile ad hoc network technology can effectively expand communication range of wireless UV communication. Using space division multiplexing, we design a UV mobile ad hoc network communication node transceiver and propose the method of acquisition, pointing, and tracking (APT) among communication nodes. The relationship between the time of acquisition and the speed of the node is simulated and analyzed. Based on the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) UV communication theory,we simulate the transmission rate between the designed two nodes by the Monte Carlo method when the on off keying (OOK) modulation is used and the bit error rate is 10-5 . We do an outdoor NLOS UV communication experiment, and the experimental results show that the code rate curve and the simulation results have the same trend. When the transmit power is 50 mW, the maximum deflection angle of NLOS communication is set to 6°, and the bit error rate is 10-5, the originating code rate can reach 1.64×106 Baud·s-1.
