<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, we theoretically analyze the performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) serial relaying free-space optical (FSO) systems using avalanche photodiodes (APD) and subcarrier quadrature amplitude modulation (SC-QAM) over strong atmospheric turbulence channels modelled by gamma-gamma distribution. Closed-form expression for average bit error rate (BER) of system is theoretically derived talking into account APD shot noise, thermal noise as well as the impact of atmospheric loss and turbulence. The numerical results show that using AF relay stations can extend the transmission distance and help to improve performance of FSO system significantly when compared with the direct transmission. Moreover, the selection of APD gain value is indispensable to the system performance. The proposed system could be achieved the best performance by selecting an optimal APD gain value. In addition, the optimal value of APD gain also significantly depends on various conditions, such as link distance, the number of relay stations and APD receiver noise.</span>

In amplify-and-forward (AF) relay channel, when the direct link between source and destination terminals is deeply faded, the signal from the source terminal to the destination terminal propagates through the relay terminals, each of which relays a signal received from the previous terminal to the next terminal in series. This paper, we theoretically analyze the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) AF free-space optical (FSO) systems. The AF-MIMO/FSO average channel capacity (ACC), which is expressed in terms of average spectral efficiency (ASE) is derived taking into account the atmospheric turbulence effects on the MIMO/FSO channel. They are modeled by log-normal and the gamma-gamma distributions for the cases of weak-to-strong turbulence conditions. We extract closed form mathematical expression for the evaluation of the ACC and we quantitatively discuss the influence of turbulence strength, link distance, different number of relay stations and different MIMO configurations on it.

AbstractIn this paper, an analytical approach is presented to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) of a free space optical (FSO) link with radio frequency (RF) multiple subcarrier modulation, taking into account the effect of weak atmospheric turbulence considering a direct detection optical receiver followed by RF synchronous demodulator for each sub-channel. Analysis is carried out to find a closed-form expression for conditional BER at the output of the RF demodulators conditioned on a given value of atmospheric turbulence-induced fading and intermodulation distortion (IMD). The average BER for each sub-channel is then found by averaging the conditional BER over the probability density function of the atmospheric turbulence modeled as log-normal distribution. Degradations of BER due to atmospheric turbulence are evaluated for several values of system parameters like number of RF subcarrier, turbulence variance, link distance, data rate and power penalty suffered by the system due to atmospheric turbulence and IMD. For a given system bandwidth, it is found that the maximum power penalty occurs when the subcarrier number is around four and the performance gradually improves with increase in the number of subcarrier. For example, at a system bandwidth of 20 GHz with subcarrier number 4, the power penalty at a BER of 10–9 is found to be 30 dB for a link distance of 3.6 km, whereas the power penalty reduces to 13 dB when the number of subcarrier is increased to 32.

AbstractIn this paper, the end-to-end performance of free-space optical (FSO) communication system combining with Amplify-and-Forward (AF)-assisted or fixed-gain relaying technology using subcarrier quadrature amplitude modulation (SC-QAM) over weak atmospheric turbulence channels modeled by log-normal distribution with pointing error impairments is studied. More specifically, unlike previous studies on AF relaying FSO communication systems without pointing error effects; the pointing error effect is studied by taking into account the influence of beamwidth, aperture size and jitter variance. In addition, a combination of these models to analyze the combined effect of atmospheric turbulence and pointing error to AF relaying FSO/SC-QAM systems is used. Finally, an analytical expression is derived to evaluate the average symbol error rate (ASER) performance of such systems. The numerical results show that the impact of pointing error on the performance of AF relaying FSO/SC-QAM systems and how we use proper values of aperture size and beamwidth to improve the performance of such systems. Some analytical results are confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations.

In this paper, spatial pulse position modulation (SPPM) is used as a case study to investigate the performance of the optical spatial modulation (SM) technique in outdoor atmospheric turbulence (AT). A closed-form expression for the upper bound on the asymptotic symbol error rate (SER) of SPPM in AT is derived and validated by closely-matching simulation results. The error performance is evaluated in weak to strong AT conditions. As the AT strength increases from weak to strong, the channel fading coefficients become more dispersed and differentiable. Thus, a better error performance is observed under moderate-to-strong AT compared to weak AT. The performance in weak AT can be improved by applying unequal power allocation to make free-space optical communication (FSO) links more distinguishable at the receiver. Receive diversity is considered to mitigate irradiance fluctuation and improve the robustness of the system to turbulence-induced channel fading. The diversity order is computed as half of the number of detectors. Performance comparisons, in terms of energy and spectral efficiencies, are drawn between the SPPM scheme and conventional MIMO schemes such as repetition coding and spatial multiplexing.

Abstract In this paper, the performance analysis of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in a dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay empowered asymmetric radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) systems is presented. The RIS-assisted RF network is subjected to Nakagami-m distribution while the RIS-assisted FSO networks experience Gamma-Gamma distribution in which both atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors are considered. Thus, the closed-form expressions for the system outage probability and average bit error rate (ABER) are derived with limited number of reflecting elements at RIS-assisted RF network and multiple number of reflecting elements at RIS-assisted FSO network. Further, to obtain more insight about the system characteristic, the asymptotic closed-form expressions are derived at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the system performance metrics. The results illustrate the impact of the system and channel parameters on the proposed system in terms of atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors under beam width condition, m-fading parameter, and number of reflecting elements. The correctness of the derived analytical expressions is validated via the Monte-Carlo simulations.

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral and the Rytov phase structure function, the closed-form expression of a partially coherent array finite Airy beams (PCAFABs) cutting through the Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence is derived in the space domain under the paraxial approximation. The characteristics of the PCAFABs evoluting in the atmospheric environment are investigated in detail on the basis of the derived wave propagation formulae. We mainly illustrate the intensity profile of this beam changed with the truncation parameter, coherence length, and turbulence factor at several cross sections of the atmospheric space by means of numerical figures. It is convinced that the present concept and derived conclusions will provide useful exploration for learning the optical properties of the PCAFABs transmitting in the atmospheric turbulence, especially for free-space optical communication area.

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the performance of a decode-and-forward relayed mixed radio frequency-free space optical (RF-FSO) dual-hop link. The transmitter to receiver link’s first-hop is a RF channel and the second-hop is a FSO channel. The RF link experiences long-term shadowing and short-term multi-path fading effects, while the FSO channel suffers atmospheric turbulence fading, path loss, and pointing error-induced misalignment fading. The performance of the system is analyzed considering the impact of these parameters. We model the RF link by generalized-K fading distribution and the atmospheric turbulence over the FSO link by the gamma–gamma fading. The expressions in closed form for the outage probability, symbol error rate for the system employing $q$-ary PSK modulation schemes, and the channel capacity of the system are derived. The obtained numerical results are also depicted by numerical plots.

AbstractFree space optical (FSO) communication has fascinated a lot of attention for a variety of applications in telecommunication area. It is dream of every researcher and telecommunication society to make it a real alternative solution for the last mile problem, to replace fiber optics. FSO is much favored because of its low maintenance cost and deployment time. Pointing error is one of the main challenges in FSO communication system which affects its performance especially at high data links that leads to significant performance degradation. In this paper, the impact of pointing error for multi-beam Hybrid Wavelength Division Multiplexing (HWDM) FSO system is investigated. Then the effect of link distance and Bit Error Rate (BER) are estimated by accounting the pointing error and atmospheric attenuation. The effect of change of link distance is examined while changing the number of beams between the transmitter and receiver as well. In this attempt, the HWDM system is considered by combining eight Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels and four Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) channels. In addition, the influences of BER and receiver sensitivity are analyzed for the proposed system by incorporating Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) at the receiver end. The data rate 2.5 Gbps is considered for both CWDM and DWDM channels for investigation.
