Abstract

This paper presents performance and information theoretic analysis for cascaded free space optical (FSO) communication system using decode-and-forward relaying protocol. Optical links experience Gamma-Gamma distributed atmospheric turbulence, path loss, and misalignment losses. Derived closed-form statistical characteristics of the end-to-end SNR of the system are used for outage analysis, bit-error-rate analysis, and information theoretic analysis of the proposed system, for various modulation schemes and adaptive transmission protocols, respectively. In the performance analysis, impact of misalignment losses and scintillations is seen on various performance parameters and the adaptive modulation schemes using capacity of proposed systems.
