研究目的
To perform an extensive analysis of the error and misalignment effects encountered in Line Of Sight (LOS) communication, focusing on pointing error and turbulence effects, and to derive novel expressions for outage probability and BER for both FSO and RF systems using Rician Channel and 16QAM Modulation scheme alongside Hybrid FSO/RF system for weak, moderate, strong turbulence regimes using Meijer-G Function.
研究成果
The paper concludes that the Hybrid FSO/RF system performs significantly better than the FSO link alone under both strong and moderate turbulence conditions. BPSK-SIM modulation scheme provides the best performance among the considered modulation formats. The study highlights the impact of environmental effects and misalignment on the system's performance, with pointing errors and turbulence conditions significantly affecting the BER and outage probability.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and simulation-based, focusing on specific modulation schemes (BPSK-SIM and DPSK-SIM) and turbulence models (Gamma-Gamma for FSO and Rician for RF). The practical implementation challenges and real-world environmental variations are not discussed.
