    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.
