Item 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.Item 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.
