    All-Optical UAV-Based Triple-Hop FSO-FSO-VLC Cooperative System for High-Speed Broadband Internet Access in High-Speed Trains
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Aarthi, A.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, P.; Natarajan, R.; Jayakody, D.N.K.
    In this paper, we proposed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based all optical triple hop mixed free space optical-free space optical-visible light communication (FSO-FSO-VLC) system for broadband internet access in high-speed train applications. The system consists of triple hops from gateway to the UAV, UAV to train and train to the end user. Two decode and forward relays are mounted on the UAV and train respectively to transmit the data between the gateway to the end-users. The first hop between gateway to UAV consist of FSO link which follows M-distribution. The second hop between the UAV to train consists of FSO link and is modelled using Gamma-Gamma distribution which takes into account both atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors due to position/orientation deviation. The third hop between the train and end user is connected using VLC link and it is mathematically modelled using Lambertian emission distribution. The relays map the incoming signal on the FSO links and send it down to the user inside the train via the VLC downlink. We derived the closed form expressions for average bit error rate and outage probability of the proposed system. This paper investigates the effects of atmospheric turbulence, field of view, beam divergence angle, displacement deviation variance, optical concentrator gain, number of access point, and modulation schemes on system performance. First time, we proposed all-optical system which offers high data rate and low transmission delay. © 2013 IEEE.

    BER analysis of a full-duplex relay-assisted BPSK-SIM based VLC system for indoor applications
    (Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2023) Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Naik, R.P.; Choudhari, D.; Krishnan, P.; G.D., G.D.G.; Jagadeesh, V.K.
    This paper contemplates a relay-assisted visible light communication (VLC) system, where the light source (table lamp) acts as a relay node and cooperates with the main light source. Following the IEEE 802.15.7r1 VLC reference channel model, we assume that there are two different light sources present in an office room. The first one is the source terminal present on the ceiling and another one is the desk lamp that serves as the relay station, which works in a full-duplex method. Because of the loop interference channel, we model the VLC relay terminal using ray tracing simulations. We have analyzed the bit error rate (BER) performance of the relay-assisted VLC system using a binary phase shift keying–subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM) technique. The proposed method outperforms existing phase shift keying (PSK) and square M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) techniques. The proposed VLC system using the BPSK-SIM technique achieves a BER performance of 10−12 for an SNR of 20 dB. The results of the proposed full-duplex and half-duplex relayed VLC systems are evaluated using equal power allocation (EPA) and optimum power allocation (OPA) techniques over three different modulation schemes, which are 2-PSK, square M-QAM, and BPSK-SIM. © 2023 Optica Publishing Group.

    BER Performance Analysis of Optical Wireless Communication System over Weak and Strong Underwater Turbulence Channels
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Naik, R.P.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, K.; Chung, W.-Y.
    In this paper, we have investigated the performance of an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) link employing single-input and single-output (SISO) and selection combining (SC) as receiver diversity for varying link-ranges. As the the link-range increases, then strength of turbulence between the underwater optical entities also increases. It is assumed that the distribution of light propagation in weak and strong turbulence UWOC channel as log-normal (LN) and gamma-gamma (GG) density functions, respectively. The analytical bit error rate (BER) equations of on–off keying modulated UWOC link have been derived for SISO and SC receiver diversity using hyperbolic tangent distribution for LN and power series for GG density functions. The analytical BER results are validated with the Monte Carlo simulations. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Outage Probability Analysis of Variable and Fixed Gain Relay-Assisted Dual-Hop RF-FSO Links Using Space–time Block Code Users
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Naik, R.P.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, K.; Chung, W.-Y.
    In this paper, we have implemented an analytical study on a relay-assisted dual-hop system using fixed and variable gains for the radio-frequency (RF) and free-space optical communication (FSO). RF and FSO links are realized using the Rayleigh and Malaga distribution functions. Simulation results shows that pointing errors become severe, system performance deteriorates, and conjointly that the RF users exploiting space–time block coding (STBC) will enhance the performance of the end-to-end system. Outage probability of the end-to-end communication link operated with the STBC using the variable and fixed gain system implemented and plotted with respect to average SNR. From the obtained results, fixed gain relay-based communication link performs better efficient than the variable gain relay system. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted free-space optical communication link for the Satellite-Internet of Things
    (Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2023) Naik, R.P.; G.D., G.D.G.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, P.
    The Satellite-Internet of Things (S-IoT) is envisaged as one of the promising technological enhancements in this decade due to its outright connectivity, especially in the areas of terrestrial communication andweather forecasting. Invariably, turbulent atmospheric conditions and varied terrain profiles are hindrances for satellite based freespace optical (FSO) communication, and immensely disrupt signal levels. Recently, a new technological invention called a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) empowered radio transmission environments for next generation wireless/optical technology has emerged. Elements of RIS are used to intelligently tune the striking beam towards desired locations. In this paper, we propose an RIS based FSO link to manueuver S-IoT. The challenges of pointing errors and turbulent atmospheric connectivity froma satellite to ground station and vice versa with the cooperation of RIS have been derived and substantiated with closed form solutions. The proposed system's performance has been analyzed using packet and bit error rates, and outage probability over atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, and signal blockage scenarios.Results are evaluated for different RIS elements as a function of average signal to noise ratio. The proposed system is extremely productive, since this scheme has the capability to provide dependable connectivity in rural, urban, and suburban environments where reliable connectivity is difficult in spite of traditional infrastructures. ©2023 Optica Publishing Group.

    RIS Assisted Triple-Hop RF-FSO Convergent With UWOC System
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Naik, R.P.; Krishnan, P.; Raj, A.A.B.; Majumdar, A.K.; Chung, W.-Y.
    The convergence of wireless optical communication (WOC) and radio-frequency (RF) systems is a promising technology that overcomes the shortcomings of standalone communication systems. By incorporating reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) on top of these WOC and RF communication systems, it is possible to circumvent the connection challenges associated with standard line of sight (LOS) communication links. Wireless communication systems with RIS assistance are a promising and evolving technology that enables more efficient and reliable link performance over long distances. The performance of the triple-hop RIS-assisted RF-FSO convergent with the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system is investigated in this article. We considered the fading channel Nakagami-m over the RIS-RF connection and the fading channel Gamma-Gamma (GG) over the RIS-FSO and UWOC links. Then, the average bit error rate (ABER) and outage probability are determined using closed-form expressions. The ABER and outage probability performances of the triple-hop communication system is analysed by varying parameters such as turbulence, misalignment fading, and the number of RIS elements. The obtained results demonstrate an improvement in performance for low turbulence, low pointing error, and an increasing number of RIS elements. Additionally, the data demonstrate the accuracy of the analytical results. © 2013 IEEE.
