Abstract
This paper studies the outage probability (OP) and the average bit-error rate (BER) of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) free-space optical (FSO) system with maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique over Gamma–Gamma (GG) fading channels with generalized pointing errors modeled by the Beckmann distribution. A new approximate closed-form probability density function (PDF) at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for MRC scheme is derived by inverse Laplace transformation method. Based on the developed PDF, new approximate and asymptotic closed-form expressions for the OP and the average BER are derived, respectively. Then, the OP and the average BER performance of the MIMO-FSO system with MRC scheme at high SNR are analyzed with different parameters, including number of transmitters and receivers, receiver aperture sizes, nonzero boresight, and different jitters. Finally, numerical results and Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the accuracy of the derived approximate and asymptotic expressions over a wide range of SNR.
