Optical wireless communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation
media through the use of optical carriers, ie, visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) bands …

Time, polarization, and wavelength multiplexing schemes have been used to satisfy the
growing need of transmission capacity. Using space as a new dimension for communication …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be harnessed as relay nodes in free-space optical
(FSO) communication systems to realize a flexible and cost-effective approach for delivering …

The integration of free-space optical (FSO) communications and relay technology has been
envisioned as a promising and effective solution to achieve substantial performance gains …

Space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGIN) within UAV-assisted free-space optical
(FSO) communication systems can efficiently accommodate massive connections and …

In this work, we present a unified performance analysis of a free-space optical (FSO) link that
accounts for pointing errors and both types of detection techniques ie, intensity …

Networked Tethered Flying Platforms (NTFPs) have gained growing interest in recent years
due to their versatility and cost-efficiency. These aerial platforms are linked to ground …

In this paper, we consider a heterogenous scenario where free-space optical (FSO) and
radio-frequency (RF) technologies are deployed together as a dual-hop communication …

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an excellent use case for line-of-sight (LOS)
based technologies such as free-space optical (FSO) communications. In this paper, we …

Recently, the Fisher-Snedecor distribution was proposed to model the turbulence in free-
space optical (FSO) communications. However, the existing model does not consider …
