Item Performance enhancement using multiple input multiple output in dual-hop convergent underwater wireless optical communication-free-space optical communication system under strong turbulence with pointing errors(SPIE, 2021) Bhargava Kumar, B.K.; Naik, R.P.; Krishnan, P.For the first time, we propose a dual-hop multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-based convergent underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC)-free-space optical (FSO) system. The UWOC and FSO links are Gamma-Gamma (GG) distributed. Closed-form expression for the average bit error rate (ABER) is derived for the proposed MIMO-based dual-hop UWOC-FSO convergent system using the GG cumulative distribution function. The end-to-end system performance analysis is carried out by considering the turbulence, attenuation, and pointing error effects for UWOC and FSO links. For the UWOC link, different oceanic conditions, such as the clear ocean, coastal ocean, and turbid harbor, are considered. Various atmospheric effects, such as clear air, fog, rain, drizzle, and haze, are considered for the FSO link. The analytical results of the proposed MIMO-based convergent system are compared with single-input single-output (SISO) system. As a result, it is observed that the proposed MIMO 2 × 3 scheme offers an improvement of 35 dB in the average signal-to-noise ratio compared with the SISO system at ABER of 10-5 in the case of weak pointing error. © 2021 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).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.Item 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 GroupItem 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.Item 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.Item Multiuser Data Transmission Aided by Simultaneous Transmit and Reflect Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface in Underwater Wireless Optical Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Naik, R.P.; Salman, M.; Bolboli, J.; Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Chung, W.-Y.Recent research in the wireless communications field has focused on the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), which can enhance energy and spectrum efficiency by reconfiguring radio waves to propagate in a specific direction. In this study, we applied the simultaneous transmit and reflect (STAR)-RIS to an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system. In contrast to a conventional RIS, a STAR-RIS allows multiple users to transfer data simultaneously in all directions by obtaining a UWOC channel despite underwater turbulence, beam attenuation, blockage, and pointing errors. Underwater turbulence-induced fading was obtained by using exponential and generalized Gamma distributions, and numerical analysis were performed to evaluate the outage probability, bit error rate (BER), and channel capacity of a direct UWOC channel, conventional RIS assisted UWOC channel, and STAR-RIS assisted UWOC channel. The BER performance was also evaluated according to the number of reflective elements, type of modulation scheme, impact of pointing errors, blockage levels, and varying the transmit-reflection coefficient. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to validate the analytical results for the BER and outage probability with respect to the average signal-to-noise ratio. Experiments were performed to demonstrate the received luminous intensity performance with respect to the incident beam luminous intensity of the proposed STAR-RIS assisted UWOC channel. © 1967-2012 IEEE.
