Item 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.Item Performance analysis of underwater vertical wireless optical communication system in the presence of weak turbulence, pointing errors and attenuation losses(Springer, 2023) Savidhan Shetty, S.C.S.; Naik, R.P.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Chung, W.-Y.In this paper, we have investigated the performance of underwater vertical wireless optical communication (UVWOC) link employing on–off key modulation in the presence of underwater turbulence, pointing errors and attenuation losses. The turbulence of the medium (assumed to be weak turbulence) has been modeled by employing the hyperbolic tangent log normal (HTLN) distribution. Temperature, pressure and salinity are parameters which can bring about variation of optical transmission characteristics with respect to depth of the ocean/sea. An in-depth study of optical transmission through vertical oceanic links requires the the underwater medium to be modeled as comprising of non-identical turbulent layers. Each of these independent and non-identical turbulence layers are modeled using the HTLN distribution function. The pointing error due to misalignment between source and detector is modeled using Rayleigh displacement pointing error. A novel closed-form expression to quantify the average bit error rate (BER) has been derived for single input single output (SISO) communication link. This expression has then been further generalized to make it applicable to the case of receive diversity schemes such as selection combining, majority logic combining and maximum ratio combining. The expression for the average BER associated with the UVWOC link for different pointing errors, different data rates and different types of ocean water has been determined. Novel closed-form expressions quantifying the outage probability and ergodic channel capacity have been derived for SISO and SC receive diversity schemes. The accuracy of all of the closed-form expressions derived in this paper have been validated using Monte-Carlo simulations. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Performance Analysis of Dual-Hop AF/DF Relay Utilizing BCH Code in an Underwater Vertical Wireless Optical Link(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Achala, G.; Prasad Naik, R.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Chung, W.-Y.Many attempts have been made to realize effective communication from the sea surface to ocean depths. One promising emerging technology is the deployment of underwater vertical wireless optical links to establish reliable and high-speed communication. In this study, we have attempted to evaluate the performance of an underwater vertical wireless optical communication (UVWOC) link operating beneath the ocean surface, utilizing amplify and forward (AF) as well as decode and forward (DF) relay systems. The investigation focuses on a vertical link traversing multiple layers of turbulence. The channel modeling of multiple layers under weak turbulence and strong turbulence conditions employs hyperbolic tangent log-normal and gamma-gamma distributions. Novel closed-form expressions are developed to quantify the average bit error rate and outage probability for dual-hop AF/DF relay UVWOC links in both weak and strong underwater turbulence conditions. The analysis accounts for attenuation losses and pointing errors. Monte-Carlo simulations validate the accuracy of the derived expressions. Furthermore, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes with parameters (n=31, k=11) and (n=63, k=18) are applied to enhance the integrity of information transfer over the AF/DF relay UVWOC link. This research contributes to understanding UVWOC links under diverse conditions and proposes coding techniques for improved reliability in challenging underwater environments. © 2013 IEEE.Item Multiuser Data Transmission Aided by Simultaneous Transmit and Reflect Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface in Underwater Wireless Optical Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Naik, R.P.; Salman, M.; Bolboli, J.; Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Chung, W.-Y.Recent research in the wireless communications field has focused on the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), which can enhance energy and spectrum efficiency by reconfiguring radio waves to propagate in a specific direction. In this study, we applied the simultaneous transmit and reflect (STAR)-RIS to an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system. In contrast to a conventional RIS, a STAR-RIS allows multiple users to transfer data simultaneously in all directions by obtaining a UWOC channel despite underwater turbulence, beam attenuation, blockage, and pointing errors. Underwater turbulence-induced fading was obtained by using exponential and generalized Gamma distributions, and numerical analysis were performed to evaluate the outage probability, bit error rate (BER), and channel capacity of a direct UWOC channel, conventional RIS assisted UWOC channel, and STAR-RIS assisted UWOC channel. The BER performance was also evaluated according to the number of reflective elements, type of modulation scheme, impact of pointing errors, blockage levels, and varying the transmit-reflection coefficient. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to validate the analytical results for the BER and outage probability with respect to the average signal-to-noise ratio. Experiments were performed to demonstrate the received luminous intensity performance with respect to the incident beam luminous intensity of the proposed STAR-RIS assisted UWOC channel. © 1967-2012 IEEE.
