    Bit error rate analysis of ground-to-high altitude platform free-space optical communications using coded polarization shift keying in various weather conditions
    (Springer, 2022) Nallagonda, V.; Krishnan, P.
    High altitude platforms (HAPs) aided free-space optical (FSO) communication, a future emerging technology for next-generation communication systems. HAP aided FSO communication systems, contributing significantly to data hunger applications. Weather conditions, angle of arrival fluctuations, blockages, and pointing error loss due to the HAP’s hovering state are some of the limitations to establishing an efficient link. In this paper, we proposed for the first time a Ground-to-HAP FSO communication system based on polarization shift keying to improve performance under hovering fluctuations. We also improved the proposed system’s performance by employing BCH and repetition coding schemes. The proposed system’s average bit error rate performance is expressed in closed form, and the results are analysed under various weather conditions such as rain (light and heavy) and fog (light and moderate). The results for coded and uncoded cases are compared. The achieved coding gain is 28.5 dB. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    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.

    Performance enhancement of FSO communication system using machine learning for 5G/6G and IoT applications
    (Elsevier GmbH, 2022) Kumar, L.J.S.; Krishnan, P.; Shreya, B.; Sudhakar, S.
    6G networks will provide extremely high capacity and will support a wide range of new applications in the future, but the existing frequency bands may not be sufficient. Furthermore, because traditional wireless communications are incapable of providing high-speed data rates, 6G enables superior coverage by integrating space/air/underwater networks with terrestrial networks. 5G-and-beyond (5 GB) and 6G networks have been mandated as a paradigm shift to take the enhanced broadband, massive access, and ultra-reliable and low latency services of 5G wireless networks to an even more advanced and intelligent level, to meet the ever-growing quantities of demanding services. In 5G and 6G wireless communication systems, artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), has emerged as an essential component of fully intelligent network orchestration and management. 5 GB and 6G communication systems will also rely heavily on a tactile Internet of Things (IoT). The diverse nature of heterogeneous traffic and the established service quality parameters in 5 GB networks will present numerous challenges. Many other wireless technologies, including free space optics (FSO), look promising for meeting the demands of 5 GB systems. FSO has been identified as a promising technology for achieving higher data rates while consuming less power. However, attenuation due to weather, pointing errors, and turbulences limits its performance. Traditional Maximum likelihood decoding techniques require prior channel information to decode the signals. in this paper, first time we proposed a novel decoding technique for decoding on–off keying (OOK) modulated FSO signals using support vector machines (SVM). The model is tested under various atmospheric weather conditions such as fog, rain, and snow, as well as turbulence and pointing errors. Simulated numerical results demonstrate that the proposed SVM-based decoding schemes are capable of mitigating attenuation, pointing error, and turbulent channel impairments. © 2021 Elsevier GmbH

    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.

    Performance analysis of a RIS-assisted RoFSO communication system over Malaga distribution for smart city applications
    (Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2023) Kumar, A.; Krishnan, P.; Raj, A.A.B.
    Radio over free space optics (RoFSO) is one of the potential technologies that can satisfy the requirements of 5G services in a smart city. However, as RoFSO is line-of-sight (LOS) communication, one of its limitations is the occurrence of a skip zone in the targeted areas. In this work, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is proposed as the solution to overcome this connection difficulty, which prevents signal blocking by generating LOS connections. These RIS modules extend the communication channel coverage, making it more intelligent and controllable. The performance analysis based on outage probability, ergodic channel capacity, and bit error rate has been performed using heterodyne detection. Malaga distribution has been used to model atmospheric turbulence. The exact closed-form expressions of the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio are derived. Exploiting these derived statistics, system performance is investigated through the ergodic channel capacity, outage probability, and average bit error rate for M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation and two binary modulation schemes: non-coherent binary frequency-shift keying and coherent binary phase-shift keying. Numerical results are compared among different turbulence conditions, link lengths, and scattering errors. The results show that the proposed RIS-assisted RoFSO technology has the potential to be effective for 5G smart city applications. © 2023 Optica Publishing Group.
