    Wireless-optical-communication-based cooperative IoT and IoUT system for ocean monitoring applications
    (The Optical Society, 2021) Naik, R.P.; G.D., G.D.G.; Krishnan, P.
    This paper proposes the idea of a new cooperative communication between the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) using wireless optical connectivity for ocean monitoring applications.We considered IoT communication using a hybrid radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) link and IoUT using a underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) link. Channel models for RF, FSO, and UWOC links are considered to be Rayleigh,Malaga with pointing errors, and hyperbolic tangent log-normal distributions, respectively. The outage probability and the bit error rate (BER) expressions for the proposed system are derived over the combined channel model, which includes the effects of attenuation, turbulence, and pointing errors. The BER results are plotted for various binary digital modulation schemes such as on-off keying, binary phase-shift keying, binary frequency-shift keying, and differential phase-shift keying over UWOC, hybrid RF/FSO and RF-UWOC, FSO-UWOCwith end-to-end systems.BERresults are extended for various turbulence regions and pointing errors of theFSOlink.MonteCarlo simulation results authenticate the correctness of the results. © 2021 Optical Society of America.

    Reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted free-space optical communication system under the influence of signal blockage for smart-city applications
    (Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2022) Naik, R.P.; Krishnan, P.; G.D., G.D.G.
    Atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors represent substantial hurdles to free-space optical communications (FSOs), impeding their practical design. The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging technology that enables reflective radio transmission conditions for next-generation 5G/6G wireless frameworks by intelligently adjusting the beam in the desired direction using low-cost inactive reflecting elements. In this paper, we proposed an RIS-assisted FSO system for mitigating the effects of atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, and communication system signal blockage. The probability density function and cumulative distribution functions of an FSO system composed of N-RIS elements are evaluated in a free-space environment that contains obstructions. We derived closed-form expressions for the proposed system's bit error rate (BER), outage probability, and channel capacity. The proposed system's performance is analyzed in terms of BER, outage probability, and channel capacity under various weather conditions, pointing errors, and signal blockage. The results are plotted as a function of number of RIS elements and average signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed system will be beneficial in smart-city applications since it will provide reliable connectivity in urban environments with a high population density and high-rise buildings. © 2022 Optica Publishing Group

    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.
