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.

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.

AbstractThis paper studies the bit error performance analysis of decode-and-forward (DF) relays-based free-space optical (FSO) communication systems using avalanche photodiode (APD). The system uses subcarrier intensity binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulated signals and subjects to scintillation due to optical turbulence. A log-normal random process is considered to model the received signal intensity fluctuation for a clear-air condition (weak atmospheric turbulence) scenario. Mathematical expressions of the average bit error probability and bit error rate (BER) are derived by taking into account the impact of atmospheric loss, thermal-noise and shot-noise limited conditions. It can be inferred from the numerical results that using DF relay nodes can extend the transmission distance and minimize BER performance of FSO system significantly compared with the direct transmission. Moreover, the selection of APD’s gain values is essential to minimize the system’s error rate performance. Therefore, the system could achieve the minimal BER by selecting an optimal average APD gain value appropriately. Moreover, the optimal average gain values of APD significantly depend on various conditions, such as the bit rate, total transmitted power, and the number of relay nodes.

This paper analyzes the performance of coherent free-space optical (FSO) system employing the switch-and-stay (SSC) dual diversity receiver. The intensity fluctuations of the optical signal are modeled by Gamma-Gamma distribution, being caused by atmospheric turbulence. In addition, pointing errors are taken into account. Novel analytical expressions for the outage probability are derived. The general scenario of unbalanced average signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of independent and identically distributed SSC branches is considered, which is further simplified to the balanced SNR case. The effects of various system and channel parameters are investigated and discussed.

Abstract In this paper, the study of mixed radio frequency (RF)/ free space optical (FSO) communication decode and forward (DF) two way relaying (TWR) has been presented. In fact, it has been considered that multiple relays are present out of which the best operational relay is selected as per the partial relay selection (PRS) methodology in the presence of outdated channel state information (CSI). Importantly, the relay nodes are assumed to operate in the presence of in phase (I) quadrature phase (Q) imbalance (IQI). The atmospheric turbulence on the FSO link has been modeled using the Malaga distribution with pointing errors. In addition to this, the impact of type of optical demodulation has been considered in the analysis. For the system model, outage probability expression has been derived in terms of Meijer-G and Fox’s H-functions. In addition to this, for the TWR system, the outage probability expressions have been modified to present asymptotic results in terms of elementary functions. The numerical analysis of the research work suggests that the overall mixed RF/FSO DF TWR system is impacted by the image rejection ratio (IRR) due to IQI, correlation between outdated CSI, atmospheric turbulence, pointing error and type of optical demodulation in addition to the amount of fading on the RF link.

<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>
