Performance analysis of mixed MISO RF/SIMO FSO relaying systems

Performance Analysis of Dual Hop MIMO Mixed FSO/RF Systems

This paper presents the performance analysis results for dual hop MIMO mixed free space optical/radio frequency (FSO/RF) systems. The FSO system has been modeled by the Gamma-Gamma fading distribution under the intensity modulation with direct detection (IM/DD). The RF link experiences Nakagami-m fading. The FSO link utilizes equal gain combiner (EGC) and MRC has been used in the RF link. The e...

Resource Allocation for Mixed RF and Hybrid RF/FSO Relaying

In this paper, we consider a mixed RF and hybrid RF/FSO system where several mobile users transmit their data over an RF link to a relay node (e.g. a small cell base station) and the relay forwards the information to a destination (e.g. a macro cell base station) over a hybrid RF/FSO backhaul link. The relay and the destination employ multiple antennas for transmission and reception over the RF...

Performance Analysis of Dual-Hop Relaying Systems

This paper quantifies the impact of hardware impairments on dual-hop relaying, for both amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward protocols. The outage probability (OP) in these practical scenarios is a function of the effective end-to-end signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR). This paper derives new closed-form expressions for the exact and asymptotic OPs, accounting for hardware impair...
