Item 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.Item RoFSO system based on BCH and RS coded BPSK OFDM for 5G applications in smart cities(Springer, 2022) Kumar, A.; Krishnan, P.The radio over the free space optical (RoFSO) communication system has become a popular research topic in 5G communication in recent years. Atmospheric turbulence typically degrades the performance of the RoFSO system. Multiple input multiple output, aperture averaging, error-correcting codes, and robust modulation are standard mitigation techniques used to reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, Reed Solomon (RS) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) coded binary shift keying (BPSK) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based RoFSO system is proposed for 5G applications. We introduced RS and BCH coding techniques for the first time in this proposed RoFSO system, and achieved an average bit error rate (ABER) of 10 - 6, at 40 dB, 17 dB, and 4 dB carrier to noise plus distortion ratio (CNDR) for the uncoded, RS coded, and BCH coded systems, respectively, under weak turbulence conditions. That is, when compared to the uncoded system, the proposed RS and BCH coded system provide transmit power gains of 13 dB and 34 dB, respectively. The ABER performance of the proposed coded RoFSO system is investigated and compared to an uncoded system under various turbulence, weather, and pointing error cases. In all turbulence regimes, weather conditions, and pointing error scenarios, the BCH coded system outperforms the RS coded and uncoded systems. The proposed RS and BCH coded system is energy efficient and may be useful in 5G implementation. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Performance analysis of radio-over-free-space optical communication system with spatial diversity over combined channel model(Springer, 2022) Kumar, A.; Krishnan, P.Radio over Free Space Optical (RoFSO) communication is accepted as one of the promising technologies in communication systems that can fulfill the demands of high bandwidth and high data rate because it has an inherent quality of transmission capacity significantly more than what is provided by radio transmission technologies. It is a low power, high data rate, unlicensed spectrum, and large bandwidth wireless technology. Nevertheless, the full potential of the RoFSO communication system can be utilized only by overcoming the adverse effects of the atmospheric channel, which are scattering, absorption, and turbulence. Pointing error is also another factor responsible for the deterioration of the performance of the RoFSO system. In this paper, spatial diversity at the transmitting and receiving ends is used to improve the performance of the RoFSO system in various turbulence and weather conditions. The Malaga distribution has been used to model atmospheric turbulence. For single input single output (SISO), single input Multiple output (SIMO), multiple input single output (MISO), multiple input multiple output (MIMO) configurations, closed form expressions for average bit error rate (BER) have been estimated. To improve the performance of the proposed system, the two combining techniques, Optimal Combining and Equal Gain Combining, are being considered. The results obtained are compared to various configurations such as SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO cases. The result shows that MIMO offers better average BER performance compared with SISO, SIMO and MISO cases. The 4 × 4 MIMO case has an average BER of 10 - 9 at an average SNR of 25 dB, but the SISO case has an average BER of 10 - 1 at the same average SNR. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Channel capacity enhancement of RIS-assisted FSO communication system for high-speed trains access connectivity(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Kumar, A.; Dewangan, K.; Krishnan, P.The rising utilization and technological progress of high-speed train (HST) systems, combined with the requirement for uninterrupted and dependable internet connectivity, have made it essential to provide broadband internet services onboard HSTs. Free space optics communication (FSOC) is a promising technology for providing broadband Internet access to HSTs. Technological innovations such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are being explored to enhance the performance of FSOC systems. This study proposes an Optimal Rate Adaptation (ORA)-based RIS-assisted FSOC system. We investigated the statistical properties of RIS-assisted and direct FSO channels under moderate to strong turbulence conditions with and without pointing errors. Considering the aforementioned fading conditions, we subsequently formulated the average signal-to-noise ratio and the average channel capacity of the system using the ORA technique. The results show that the proposed RIS-assisted FSOC system achieves an average spectral efficiency (ASE) of 4 bits/sec/Hz at 24 dB average SNR for a 500 m link length. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
