Item High-speed and reliable Underwater Wireless Optical Communication system using Multiple-Input Multiple-Output and channel coding techniques for IoUT applications(Elsevier B.V., 2020) Naik, P.N.; Acharya Udupi, S.; Krishnan, P.In this paper, we investigate the performance of an Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) system employing on–off keying modulation at a data-rate of 500 Mbps over a link-range of 30 m. Transmit/receive diversity schemes, namely Multiple-Input to Single-Output (MISO), Single-Input to Multiple-Output (SIMO) and Multiple-Input to Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques with and without RS-coding have been employed to mitigate the effects of weak oceanic turbulence and beam attenuation. The novel closed-form analytical Bit Error Rate (BER) expressions of Single-Input to Single-Output (SISO), SIMO, MISO and MIMO links for un-coded and RS-coded cases have been computed using the hyperbolic tangent distribution and validated with Monte-Carlo simulation results. The obtained BER results show that the use of (63,51) RS-coded 4 × 5 MIMO UWOC system offers at-least 35 dB of transmit power gain compared with the un-coded SISO UWOC system at a BER of 10?5. Emerging technologies like the fifth-generation (5G) networks and the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) will have a high impact on UWOC as these systems require a high degree of information integrity, high data rates and energy efficiency when employed in conjunction with data transfer between underwater vehicles and objects. The proposed RS-coded MIMO UWOC system offers high reliability and power efficiency and it has the potential to be gainfully employed in IoUT applications. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Item Co-operative RF-UWOC link performance over hyperbolic tangent log-normal distribution channel with pointing errors(Elsevier B.V., 2020) Naik, P.N.; Udupi, S.A.; Krishnan, P.In this paper, we have proposed an analytic model and determined the outage probability and average bit error rate (BER) performance of a co-operative radio frequency ? underwater wireless optical communication (RF?UWOC) system. In recent years, UWOC has attracted attention as a useful enabler of underwater activities such as climate and ocean monitoring, surveillance, ocean exploration, underwater wireless optical sensor networks (UWOSN) and internet of underwater things (IoUT) because of its high speed, ease of deployability and wide bandwidth availability which is free of licensing fees. The proposed co-operative RF–UWOC system is designed to establish a connection between an underwater vehicle inside the ocean to a terrestrial ground station using decode?forward and amplify?forward relays. The RF link between the terrestrial ground station to relay is modeled as a Rayleigh distributed channel. The UWOC link between the relay to the underwater vehicle is modeled as being perturbed by the hyperbolic tangent log-normal (HTLN) distribution. To the best of our knowledge, it is for the first time that the perturbations due to weak oceanic turbulence have been modeled using HTLN distribution. This distribution is a member of the class of log-normal distributions derived from hyperbolic tangent distribution. Novel closed-form expressions have been derived for the outage probability and average BER for various modulation techniques that can be employed in this system. The analytical results are evaluated and validated with Monte-Carlo simulations in the presence and absence of pointing errors. The results show that the impact of pointing errors in the RF-UWOC system is to impose an additional SNR penalty of at-least 10 dB to obtain a BER of 10?6 when compared with the system operating without pointing errors. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Item Performance analysis of FSO based inter-UAV communication systems(Springer, 2021) Nallagonda, V.R.; Krishnan, P.Recently unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) gained considerable attention for recent potential applications like 6G, internet of things, disaster management applications etc. Especially inter UAV communications have an increased interest in low, medium, and high altitude platforms. Free space optical (FSO) communication plays a vital role in UAV communication to offer a high data rate, wider bandwidth, and secure transmission. In this paper, first time we introduced heterodyne detection (HD) in FSO based inter UAV communication. The outage and average bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system is analyzed and the results are compared with the existing Intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD). We studied the impact of turbulence and pointing errors on BER and outage performance of the proposed system. The results are plotted for different system parameters such as Rytov Variance, field-Of-view, Transmitter UAV orientation ; receive UAV orientation, link range, and Beam width. The analytical results are validated with the monte-carlo simulations. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item 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.Item Performance investigation of underwater wireless optical system for image transmission through the oceanic turbulent optical medium(Springer, 2022) Naik, R.P.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Lal, S.; Krishnan, P.The importance of resources contained in the sea and on the sea floor is increasing with each passing day. Hence, exploration of the sea and sea floor has become a very important requirement. Underwater imaging is a science that has gained importance over the past two decades. Underwater images indicate the state of sea floor and transmitting such images through the harsh and turbulent oceanic medium can cause deterioration of the information contained in the image due to diminished color reproduction, low contrast and blur. In this paper, we have performed the simulation studies to understand perturbations induced during the transmission of sea floor images using high-speed optical signaling through the underwater channels. The transmitted irradiance often suffers from underwater turbulence and beam attenuation. The bit error rate (BER) of the system proposed to transmit information through channels has been determined through analytic means and validated through Monte-Carlo simulation. Comparison between the transmitted and received images in the presence of turbulence and attenuation have been presented. The BER performance of the proposed system is evaluated in the presence of beam attenuation and underwater turbulence. The turbulence induced errors are minimized using the transmit/receive diversity and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques. In addition to the diversity techniques, median and adaptive median filters used to minimize the distortion in the received image. The BER results show that the 4 × 5 MIMO system gains 19.50 dB of transmit power at BER of 10 - 5, when compared with the single input single output system. Similarly, an improvement of at-least 18 dB peak signal to noise ratio obtain using the adaptive median filter based system over the un-filter based system. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
