Abstract

Next-generation wireless networks are facing increasing demand for high data rates, low latency, and seamless connectivity. To address these challenges, a multi-hop hybrid communication system integrating Free Space Optics (FSO) and millimeter wave (mm Wave) technologies for backhaul communication is proposed. This system combines the advantages of FSO, such as high bandwidth and low latency, with the robustness and reliability of mm Wave technology. The multi-hop architecture enables the formation of a network of interconnected nodes, providing improved coverage and flexibility. Each node is equipped with FSO and mm Wave transceivers, allowing for seamless handovers and adaptive routing. For the proposed system, analytical formulas for outage probability (OP) and average bit error rate (ABER) are derived and validated using simulations. The Monte Carlo simulations provide evidence of enhanced performance in the proposed Multi-Hop Hybrid FSO/mm Wave (MHFM) system compared to the FSO system.

Keywords: Average BER, Free-Space Optics, Millimeter Wave, Multi-Hop, Hybrid FSO/mm Wave, Outage Probability.
