N2 - This paper proposes using cooperative communication based on optoelectronic (O-E-O) amplify-and-forward relay terminals to reduce the influence of the blockage and shadowing resulting from human movement in a beam steering Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) system. The simulation results indicate that on average, the outage probability of the cooperative communication mode with O-E-O relay terminals is two orders of magnitude lower than the outage probability of the system without relay terminals.
