On the Performance Analysis of Decode-and-Forward Multi-Hop Hybrid FSO/RF Systems With Hard-Switching Configuration

Blog Article

In this paper, we introduce a decode-and-forward multi-hop hybrid free-space optical/radio frequency Diabetic Socks (FSO/RF) system.The FSO link is assumed to follow Gamma-Gamma distribution with the combined effects of pointing errors and path loss under intensity modulation with direct detection technique, and the RF link is assumed to follow Nakagami-m distribution.In particular, we derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability and ergodic capacity and analyze the system performance under the effect of different weather conditions in addition to the effect of pointing errors.The Ball - Training Aids results show that the multi-hop hybrid system improves the performance even under adverse weather conditions and strong pointing errors.Furthermore, Monto Carlo simulations are provided for validation.
