Abstract

Optical space communication as a relay satellite system has been employed. The use of laser satellite communication (SatCom) can alleviate the issues that RF satellite communication encounters. In this study, channel turbulence, additional technologies, intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD), decoding, and forwarding (DF) are used to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed laser uplink satellite relay communication model in terms of outage probability (OP) and bit error rate (BER) indicators. This article looks at the necessary channel properties to analyze how operating wavelength affects system performance and compares our results with those of the optical direct link. The performance of the system is investigated by looking at the necessary system parameters, which show the superiority of the proposed system over the optical downlink SatCom, which can improve the required aperture radius up to 10% and the overall system performance up to 57%.
