8. This transmission scheme has been given the acronym BLAST (Bell Labs Layered Space Time).
9. This last requirement corresponds to the so-called "narrowband" assumption for the wireless system and can potentially be relaxed by adding channel equalization.
10. The wavelengths should not overlap exactly, as this would result in coherent optical beat noise in the receiver.

13. This is due to practical restrictions in wireless systems, where the maximum allowed transmit power is often limited by external factors (such as spectrum allocation regulations). These restrictions do not apply to optical systems.
