The ever-increasing data rate demand for wireless systems is pushing the physical limits of
standalone radio-frequency communications, thus fostering the blooming of novel high …

The 2nd Edition of Optical Wireless Communications: System and Channel Modelling with
MATLAB® with additional new materials, is a self-contained volume that provides a concise …

The performance of free-space optical (FSO) communication systems is compromised by
atmospheric fading and pointing errors. The pointing errors are widely considered as a …

We develop a model for the probability density function (pdf) of the irradiance fluctuations of
an optical wave propagating through a turbulent medium. The model is a two-parameter …

Atmospheric optical communication has been receiving considerable attention recently for
use in high data rate wireless links (Juarez et al., 2006)-(Zhu & Kahn, 2002). Considering …

In this paper, we present relay-assisted transmission as a powerful fading mitigation tool for
free-space optical systems operating in atmospheric turbulence channels. We study both …

Error control coding can be used over free-space optical (FSO) links to mitigate turbulence-
induced fading. In this paper, we derive error performance bounds for coded FSO …

A heuristic model of irradiance fluctuations for a propagating optical wave in a weakly
inhomogeneous medium is developed under the assumption that small-scale irradiance …

We have developed approximate expressions for the aperture-averaging factor of optical
scintillation in the turbulent atmosphere. For large apertures and weak path-integrated …
