    Analysis of beam divergence on free space optical link using polarization shift keying technique
    (SPIE spie@spie.org, 2019) Rajeev, M.; Mathew, G.A.; Krishnan, P.
    Beam diverging is an indispensable phenomenon on the quality and bit error rate (BER) performance of the free space optical (FSO) communication system. The role of an efficacious modulation technique that mitigates the combined effect of beam diverging and atmospheric attenuation is highly relevant. The weak depolarizing property of the atmosphere advances the use of polarization shift keying (PolSK) modulation. We are subjected to investigate the quality and feasibility of the communication link, considering the impact of beam divergence on the PolSK modulation under various weather conditions. It is shown that PolSK subdues the effects of increase in beam divergence, attenuation factor, and further extends the communication range. A comparison with on off keying and PolSK-based FSO links considering the divergence angle is discussed. Moreover, BER and quality factor graphs are plotted against link distance and beam divergence using PolSK, which improves the performance analysis. © 2019 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

    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.

    Experimental demonstration and analysis of underwater wireless optical communication link: Design, BCH coded receiver diversity over the turbid and turbulent seawater channels
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc. P.O.Box 18667 Newark NJ 07191-8667, 2020) Naik, P.N.; Udupi, S.A.; Krishnan, P.
    In this article, we demonstrate an experimental underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system in the presence of air bubbles and weak turbulence for varying turbidity levels of the aquatic optical medium. The major limiting factors of the UWOC system are: absorption, scattering, and beam fluctuations; these effects can be mitigated by employing transmitter/receiver diversity schemes and channel codes. In this proposed system, we have employed receiver diversity (selection combining (SC), majority logic combining (MLC), and equal gain combining (EGC)) techniques augmented with Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes to improve the performance of on-off keying modulated UWOC system. The bit error rate (BER) expressions are derived for the proposed system and results are validated using analytic and experimental means. The results show that the proposed system, that is, the receiver employing SC, MLC, and EGC receiver combining techniques augmented with the BCH code provides a transmit power gain of 4, 6, and 8 dB respectively, when compared with the uncoded single-input single-output system, at a BER of 10?5. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Performance analysis of RoFSO links with spatial diversity over combined channel model for 5G in smart city applications
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Kumar, A.; Krishnan, P.
    The smart city concept improves the lives of citizens and optimizes the efficiency of city operations, services through the integration of information and communication technology with the help of the internet of things (IoT) and 5G techniques. The bandwidth demand for 5G, smart city, and IoT applications are fulfilled with wireless optical communications. Particularly, radio over free space optical (RoFSO) communication establishes a very attractive choice for interconnecting central base stations with remote antenna units. In this paper, we consider the transmission of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radio signals with quadrature amplitude (QAM) modulation format through a free space optical link using spatial diversity mitigation technique. The atmosphere is modeled as the combined channel model which takes into account atmospheric attenuation, turbulence, and pointing errors. The atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors are modeled by Malaga, Beckmann, and Rayleigh distributions. The novel closed form BER expressions are derived for the proposed QAM OFDM RoFSO link with spatial diversity. The results are analyzed and plotted for different weather conditions (clear, haze, light fog), turbulence regimes (weak, moderate, strong), misalignment (weak, enhanced), the order of QAM and number of transceivers. The proposed RoFSO system is highly useful for 5G in smart city applications. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    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.

    Multi-hop convergent FSO-UWOC system to establish a reliable communication link between the islands
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Bhargava Kumar, B.K.; Krishnan, P.
    Most part of the earth is filled with water. Oceans hold around 97% of this water, and hence they are the heart of mother earth. People use these oceans for traveling, edibles, and communication. Many islands in this world consist of a large number of sub-islands. Establishing a communication link or a network between these sub-islands is highly challenging one. In this paper, we proposed a decode-and-forward multi-hop convergent free space optical — underwater wireless optical communication (FSO-UWOC) system for establishing high-speed network connectivity between the islands. The closed form expressions of outage probability of the differential phase shift keying (DPSK) based FSO-UWOC system over a Malaga distributed FSO channel and Gamma–Gamma distributed UWOC channel is derived. The results are analyzed and plotted for different weather conditions, turbulences and pointing errors of FSO and UWOC, respectively. The simulated results show that the proposed system will be useful in design of convergent UWOC-FSO system in coastal environments where the weather changes frequently such as clear, rain, haze etc. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    Asymptotic bit error rate analysis of convergent underwater wireless optical communication-free-space optical system over combined channel model for different turbulence and weather conditions with pointing errors
    (SPIE, 2020) Bhargava Kumar, B.K.; Krishnan, P.
    The differential phase-shift keying-based dual-hop underwater wireless optical communication-free-space optics (UWOC-FSO) convergent system is proposed for UOWSNs and Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) applications. In the proposed system, the collected sensor data are transmitted to a decode-and-forward relay using underwater optical wireless communication links modeled as gamma-gamma distribution. The relay transmits the signal to the terrestrial destination using free-space optical link modeled as Malaga distribution. The end-to-end performance of the system (novel expression for asymptotic bit error rate) is derived and analyzed over combined channel model (including the effects of attenuation, turbulence, and pointing errors for both FSO and UWOC channels). The in-depth study is carried out for different weather conditions of FSO (attenuation - very clear, haze, rain, and fog; turbulence - weak and strong; and pointing error - weak and strong based on the g values 1, 2, and 6) and UWOC (attenuation - clear, coastal ocean, and turbid harbor; turbulence - weak, moderate, and strong; and pointing error - weak and strong based on the g values 1, 2, and 6), respectively. The proposed system is highly useful in coastal environments, where the climate is changing adequately as clear, rain, haze, and fog. © 2020 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

    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.

    Bit error rate analysis of polarization shift keying based free space optical link over different weather conditions for inter unmanned aerial vehicles communications
    (Springer, 2021) Nallagonda, V.; Krishnan, P.
    The increasing availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is an exciting part of future emerging technology with advanced scientific and industrial interests. Free space optical (FSO) communications’ ability to offer very high data rates and the mobility of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying platforms make the delivery of Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless networking services appealing to FSO-UAV-based solutions. UAVs play a greater role in end-to-end delivery in next- generation wireless networking systems, serving as a base station, capacity enhancement, high data access, and other disaster management systems. To establish a link between unmanned aerial vehicles and ground stations, FSO can be applied. But, the different weather conditions liken rain, fog effects on the performance of the FSO link, contributing to the loss of the signal. In this paper, we proposed polarization shift keying (POLSK) modulated FSO link based UAV–UAV communication system for 6G beyond applications. We examine the effect of different weather conditions such as rain, fog on the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system. Novel closed-form expressions for UAV–UAV based FSO propagation channel are derived, and BER performance is investigated under different weather conditions. Fog and rain are the main limiting factors mitigated in this paper by suitable mitigation techniques by increasing receiver field of view. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
