    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

    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.
