This article presents an overview of optical wireless (OW) communication systems that
operate both in the short-(personal and indoor systems) and the long-range (outdoor and …

Free space optics (FSO) or optical wireless systems provide high data rate solution for
bandwidth hungry communication applications. Carrier class availability is a necessity for …

Free Space Optical communication links transmit information by laser light through an
atmospheric channel. Relying on infrared light, these communication systems are immune to …

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for hybrid radio frequency (RF)/free-space
optics (FSO) wireless systems. Hybrid RF/FSO systems are attractive since the RF and FSO …

This paper investigates the ergodic capacity performance of hybrid free space optics
(FSO)/radio frequency (RF) system by employing an adaptive-combining-based switching …

The dynamic topology of a mobile ad hoc network poses a real challenge in the design of
hierarchical routing protocol, which combines proactive with reactive routing protocols and …

The practical limitations and challenges of radio frequency (RF) based communication
networks have become increasingly apparent over the past decade, leading researchers to …

The mathematical model of a high-speed hybrid communication system based on free-
space optical (FSO) and radio-frequency (RF) technologies is considered. Multimedia …

A hybrid channel, consisting of a free space optical (FSO) link and a parallel radio frequency
(RF) link, is considered. The FSO link carries most of the transmitted data while leaving only …

The data demand for 5G networks is expected to be much higher than current throughput
requirements. To meet this demand, a dense topology of interlinked small cells is needed …
